THE Kansas City Chiefs have made a cut to their roster as they prepare for their historic three-peat attempt.
The Chiefs have cut Izaiah Gathings with an injury waiver ahead of the 2024 NFL season.
Gathings has a hamstring injury and if the tight end goes unclaimed, he'll become a free agent rather than landing on the Chiefs' injured reserve list.
It is reported that Gathings picked up his hamstring injury earlier this week.
In a corresponding move, Kansas City have signed tight end Geor'quarius Spivey.
Gathings has yet to play a regular season game in his career.
