The Kansas City Chiefs made a series of roster moves on Tuesday as they prepared for their Week 13 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders on Black Friday.
One of the team’s most notable transactions involved the Chiefs’ third-round pick in the 2020 NFL draft, offensive tackle Lucas Niang, who had his practice squad contract terminated.
Niang has won two Super Bowls in Kansas City, but never grew into a significant role in Andy Reid’s offense. He was waived by the Chiefs earlier this year before re-joining the team as a member of its practice squad.
Take a look at all of Kansas City’s roster moves below:
We have restored TE Baylor Cupp to the Practice Squad.
We signed K Matthew Wright to the Practice Squad.
We placed TE Peyton Hendershot on Reserve/Injured.
We waived DE Cameron Thomas.
We terminated the Practice Squad contract of DE Truman Jones and T Lucas Niang. pic.twitter.com/ZyLuTERtQi

Though this move won’t affect the Chiefs’ active roster heading into their matchup against the Raiders on Friday, Niang’s release signals the end of the former TCU Horned Frog’s tenure in Kansas City.
Stay tuned to see if Niang catches on with another team before the end of the regular season.
