KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) _ The Chiefs waived Jaye Howard with a failed physical
designation Monday after the veteran defensive tackle was limited to eight games
by a hip injury last season.
Chiefs coach Andy Reid said last week Howard was progressing with rehab work
following hip surgery.
The 28-year-old Howard started 13 of the 16 games he played in two years ago,
racking up 36 tackles and 51/2 sacks. He parlayed that into a $12 million,
two-year contract prior to last season.
The Chiefs allowed defensive tackle Dontari Poe to leave in free agency, but
they still have plenty of depth in the interior of the line. Along with Allen
Bailey and Chris Jones returning, they also signed former Eagles defensive
tackle Bennie Logan to a one-year deal.
