Chiefs release offensive lineman to make room for Jerick McKinnon

Center Darryl Williams first came to Kansas City in 2020.

Among the six Kansas City Chiefs players who were absent from Tuesday’s first session of the team’s mandatory minicamp was offensive lineman Darryl Williams. Now we know why Williams was absent: according to the NFL transactions wire, the third-year center has been waived from the team.

The transactions wire also noted the official signing of running back Jerick McKinnon, whose signing had been reported on Monday. Williams’ release brings the team back to the maximum of 90 players.
