Kansas City #Chiefs terminate practice squad contracts of two veteran defensive linemen | @EdEastonJr

The Kansas City Chiefs’ roster moves aren’t finished, as general manager Brett Veach has made more changes before Thursday’s season opener.

The league continues to shuffle players. Unexpected releases find their way into new teams, forcing general managers to adjust the 53-man roster and the practice squad.

On Saturday night, the Chiefs officially signed running back Emani Bailey and defensive tackle Marlon Tuipulotu to the Practice Squad. They terminated defensive tackles Matt Dickerson and Neil Farrell’s Practice Squad contracts to make room for the latest signings.

Bailey was an undrafted free agent who was initially waived by Kansas City ahead of the 53-man roster deadline, while Tuipulotu was recently let go by the Philadelphia Eagles. The former 2021 sixth-round pick appeared in 28 games over three seasons for Philadelphia.

The Chiefs part ways with two veteran defensive linemen who spent time on the active roster during last season’s Super Bowl run. The Chiefs acquired Farrell before the beginning of last season after starting his career with the Las Vegas Raiders, and Dickerson played in 12 games, totaling 15 combined tackles in 2023.

Eagles release DT Marlon Tuipulotu

The Philadelphia Eagles are releasing defensive tackle Marlon Tuipulotu after claiming former Raiders third round pick Byron Young of waivers

After putting in a waiver claim and securing the services of Byron Young, the Eagles have announced that they are releasing veteran defensive tackle Marlon Tuipulotu.

The move gives the Eagles six defensive tackles: Jordan Davis, Byron Young, Jalen Carter, Thomas Booker IV, Milton Williams, and Moro Ojomo. This gives Vic Fangio a versatile, athletic, and powerful position group.

A star at USC, Tuipulotu was drafted by the Eagles in the sixth round of the 2021 draft and appeared in 14 games in 2023, recording 22 tackles and two sacks in 162 defensive snaps.
