Chiefs release linebacker Tourek Williams, sign Marcus Rush

Tourek Williams’ stay in Kansas City lasted less than a week.

Williams, a 26-year-old outside linebacker, was released by the Chiefs on Tuesday with a designation that indicated a failure on his part to disclose a physical condition.

Williams, who was signed last Monday, participated in the Chiefs’ first practice on May 23 but missed the third of 10 voluntary practices on Thursday because of what coach Andy Reid called a stinger.

In Williams’ place, the Chiefs signed Marcus Rush, an undrafted free agent out of Michigan State in 2015. After spending that season on the San Francisco 49ers’ practice squad, the 6-foot-2, 251-pounder led the NFL last preseason with six sacks.
