On Tuesday, the NFL transactions report listed four Kansas City Chiefs practice squad released from their contracts. They were cornerback Josh Jackson and tight end Nakia Griffin-Stewart, along with linebackers Shilique Calhoun and Elijah Sullivan. This brings the number of players on the team’s practice squad to 12 — four less than the maximum of 16.
Jackson was signed to the practice unit in late October. A second-round pick for the Green Bay Packers in 2018, Jackson was elevated in Week 14 to play the Las Vegas Raiders and in Week 16 to play the Pittsburgh Steelers.
