KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) _ The Kansas City Chiefs have released third-round pick

KeiVarae Russell and brought back linebacker Dezman Moses in a surprise move

just one week into the regular season.



Russell, a cornerback, had been passed over by sixth-round pick D.J. White and

recent acquisition Kenneth Acker on the depth chart. Russell was the Chiefs’

second player chosen in the April draft.



The move Wednesday was likely made to shore up special teams, though it was

unexpected given the high draft pick the Chiefs used on the former Notre Dame

standout.



Moses was cut last week when the Chiefs needed to reach the NFL’s 53-man roster

limit.
