Chiefs to release DT Taylor Stallworth from 53-man roster
The Kansas City Chiefs have made a roster move ahead of their Week 14 game against the Denver Broncos.
According to NFL agent Brett Tessler, the Chiefs have released his client DT Taylor Stallworth from the 53-man roster. A free agent acquisition this offseason, Stallworth didn’t make the 53-man roster outright in Kansas City. He was signed to the 53-man roster from the practice squad back in early October. He’s since appeared in six games, recording four total tackles.
Stallworth would have recorded his first career sack with the Chiefs in Week 13, but the play was waved off with a roughing the passer penalty.
The Kansas City Chiefs informed me they are releasing my client Taylor Stallworth. Veteran DT should get interest from other teams on waivers.

The Chiefs recently signed DT Brandon Williams and RB Melvin Gordon to the practice squad. It’s reasonable to expect with Stallworth’s release that one of those two players will be signed to the 53-man roster in his place.
