The Kansas City Chiefs have released WR Felton Davis with a non-football injury designation according to the NFL’s official transaction report.
Davis signed on as an undrafted free agent out of Michigan State following the 2019 NFL Draft. The 6-3 212-pound receiver dealt with an Achilles injury that had him limited during his time with the Chiefs. He was able to play during the preseason catching one pass against the Pittsburgh Steelers for seven yards. During the final preseason game in 2019, Daviss injured his shoulder. He was eventually waived during final roster cuts with an injury designation and eventually reverted back to the injured reserve list for Kansas City.
The Chiefs signed six UDFA receivers following the 2020 NFL Draft. That made it really difficult for the team to keep a player like Davis, especially if he still isn’t fully healthy. Hopefully, with teams inching closer toward reopening, Davis will be able to latch on with another team and find an opportunity.
This appears to be the corresponding move to coincide with the Chiefs re-signing DB Andrew Soroh. That move has yet to be made official per the league’s transaction report, but expect that move to happen in the coming days.
