On Thursday, the Kansas City Chiefs released a recently-signed wide receiver and signed a defensive back to their practice squad. Gone is Dazz Newsome — who had been signed earlier this week — and joining the team is safety Ugochukwu (Ugo) Amadi.
Measuring 5 feet 9 and 201 pounds, the 25-year-old Amadi played for the University of Oregon before he was drafted by the Seattle Seahawks in the fourth round (132nd overall) of the 2019 NFL Draft. He appeared in 49 Seahawks games — starting 12 — over the next three seasons, accumulating 130 tackles (106 solo, six for loss), an interception, a pair of forced fumbles and 12 passes defensed.
