The Kansas City Chiefs made a series of smaller moves on Wednesday with the signing of defensive back Taurean Nixon to the practice squad. The Chiefs released running back Devine Redding in the process and also reached an injury settlement with cornerback J.R. Nelson in releasing him as well.
Nixon adds a journeyman defensive back to the practice squad and gives them another player in the secondary on the P.S. alongside Leon McQuay, the team’s sixth round pick in the 2017 NFL Draft. Nixon was the 7th round choice of the Denver Broncos two years ago in 2015 and won a Super Bowl ring in the process.
