The Kansas City Chiefs made their first notable cut of the season on Wednesday, when the team announced that it has released running back Cyrus Gray. Gray was a special teams captain last year but got hurt against the Buffalo Bills and was placed on injured reserve.
Gray was originally a sixth-round pick in 2012 and stuck on the roster for the Chiefs despite never seeing consistent playing time. Gray was always a solid special teams player but never stood out to the level of players like Terrance Copper and Junior Hemingway. For his career, Gray rushed 24 times for 99 yards, scoring one memorable touchdown against the Miami Dolphins last year.
