KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The Kansas City Chiefs released running back Damien Williams, one of the stars from their Super Bowl LIV win over the San Francisco 49ers, a source said.
The Chiefs last season drafted Clyde Edwards-Helaire in the first round to be their featured back and he led the team in rushing, despite missing time with injuries. And on Tuesday, they re-signed his leading backup, Darrel Williams, to a one-year contract.
Williams opted out of the 2020 season. But he led the Chiefs in rushing in 2019 and he topped 100 yards in the Super Bowl victory.
