By 3 p.m. (Arrowhead Time) on Tuesday, the Kansas City Chiefs must remove 27 players from their 80-man active roster in order to get it down to the in-season limit of 53 players. The Chiefs will eventually release a complete list of all of their moves — but until then, word of some of them will be trickling out.

Here, we’ll track all the roster moves the Chiefs are reported to have made.

For more information about all the types of moves the Chiefs (and the rest of the NFL’s teams) can make to trim their rosters, check out our roster cutdown reference.

With each new report, we’re also updating our Chiefs roster page, so you can easily see how many players are left in each position group.
