The Chiefs plan to release former Pro Bowl wide receiver Josh Gordon ahead of this week’s deadline for final roster cuts, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
Gordon found himself as the odd man out among a receivers room in Kansas City that is filled with newcomers. Veteran free agent signings JuJu Smith-Schuster, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Justin Watson, along with rookie second-round draft pick Skyy Moore, have impressed so far in training camp and during the preseason, prompting Kansas City to move forward without the 2013 first-team All-Pro on the roster.
Gordon, 31, made just one catch on five targets in 67 snaps during the Chiefs three preseason games this summer.
