The Kansas City Chiefs were involved in two claims posted in this morning’s official NFL transactions report, the first following Tuesday’s 53-man roster deadline.
The Chiefs made only one claim, acquiring cornerback Darius Rush — who is now formerly of the Indianapolis Colts. Cornerback Kahlef Hailassie, who spent training camp and the preseason with the Chiefs, was claimed by the Cleveland Browns.
Rush, 23, was a fifth-round pick made by the Colts in this year’s NFL Draft. Standing at 6’2” and 198 lbs., the South Carolina product fits the height and weight measurables of recent cornerbacks drafted on Day 3 by the Chiefs: 2022 fourth-rounder Joshua Williams and seventh-rounder Jaylen Watson.
