Former offensive line starter Bryan Witzmann’s run with the Chiefs is over

Offensive lineman Bryan Witzmann started 13 games for the Kansas City Chiefs last season but was released Monday.

The Chiefs shed Witzmann in order to make room for center Austin Reiter, who they claimed off of waivers from the Cleveland Browns. Reiter, a 6-foot-3, 300-pound fourth-year pro out of South Florida, was released by the Browns on Sunday. He’s played in 17 games (one start) in his previous three seasons with the Browns (two seasons) and Washington (one season).

Witzmann, who the Chiefs acquired off of waivers from Dallas in 2016, had been one of 10 linemen the Chiefs entered the week with after roster cuts and practice squad signings this past weekend.
