Chiefs News: It’s time to form the practice squad

Key Points:

• The Chiefs released wide receiver Andrew Armstrong despite his strong preseason performance, including leading the team with 7 receptions for 85 yards and impressive blocking, due to roster constraints and his unique playing style.
• Running back Emari Demercado was cut as the Chiefs' crowded backfield favored rookie Emmett Johnson, second-year player Brashard Smith, and return specialist Remigio, limiting Demercado's opportunities.
• Offensive tackle Pole was released following the acquisition of Diego Pounds from the Ravens, making Pole the odd man out despite starting the final four games last season after being re-signed post-training camp cuts.
• Cornerback Kader Kohou, recovering from a torn ACL, failed to secure the intended starting slot corner role amid strong competition and limited preseason action, leading to his release.
• The Chiefs also placed wide receiver Jimmy Holiday on injured reserve and defensive tackle Omarr Norman-Lott on the physically unable to perform list, with roster changes still possible before the season starts.
