Before their do-or-die matchup against the Bengals, the Chiefs made changes to their roster and cut Chris Lammons, the 26-year-old cornerback on Monday. The action surprised many, but the prospect of Lammons rejoining the team on a practice squad remained since he had a chance to clear waivers. A day later, however, it has not proven to be the case.

Because Lammons could not clear waivers, the biggest Chiefs rival picked him up. The move is deferred until February 13th. Therefore, the CB will not play any games for the Bengals but he can act as an impactful intel. Along with that, Kansas City will be unable to bring special-teamer back into the roster for the rest of the postseason.
