Just four days after signing Tourek Williams, the Chiefs have cut the edge defender, reports Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle (Twitter link).
Kansas City was briefly the second NFL organization for the 26-year-old Williams, who entered the league as a sixth-round pick of the AFC West rival Chargers in 2013 and spent his first four seasons in San Diego. Williams totaled 47 appearances with the Bolts, including his lone 16-game season last year, six starts (all as a rookie) and two sacks. One of those sacks came in 2016, when Williams participated in under 14 percent of the Chargers’ defensive snaps and just shy of 50 percent of their special teams plays.
With Williams no longer in the fold, the Chiefs’ 90-man roster still features six outside linebackers, including Dee Ford, Justin Houston and Tamba Hali.
