KANSAS CITY, MO. (AP) – The Chiefs claimed linebacker Sam Barrington and offensive tackle Bryan Witzmann off waivers on Sunday, making roster space for them by waiving linebacker Ramik Wilson and offensive lineman Jordan Devey. Â
Barrington had been with the Packers and Witzmann had been with the Cowboys.
The Chiefs were looking to upgrade the linebacker spot after Josh Mauga sustained a season-ending hip injury. Â Wilson was a fourth-round draft pick who started two games a year ago.
Kansas City also filled out its practice squad by signing linebackers Terrance Smith and Tyrell Adams; offensive linemen Daniel Munyer and Jarrod Pughsley; defensive backs Shak Randolph and Brock Vereen; wide receivers Frankie Hammond Jr. and Seantavius Jones; defensive tackle David King and running back Darrin Reaves.
Continuing with roster tweaks on Tuesday, Kansas City brought back Ramik Wilson (a fourth-round pick in 2015) and Jordan Devey, also signing University of Oregon defensive back Terrance Mitchell and former University of Oklahoma cornerback Julian Wilson.
Released from the practice squad to make room for the additions are linebacker Tyrell Adams, offensive lineman Daniel Munyer, and defensive backs Shak Randolph and Brock Vereen.
