The Kansas City Chiefs have released two more players with training camp quickly approaching.

Per Charean Williams of Pro Football Talk, the Kansas City Chiefs released guard Tremayne Anchrum Jr. and tight end Kevin Foelsch. The Chiefs had to clear two roster spots after signing undrafted rookie Joey Lombard (an offensive lineman) and former UFL tight end standout Geor’Quarius Spivey.

Foelsch, 24, was on the Philadelphia Eagles’ practice squad last season but never played a snap. The 26-year-old Anchrum was a seventh-round pick of the Los Angeles Rams in 2020, winning a Super Bowl 56 championship ring with them in his sophomore year.

Kansas City Chiefs GM Brett Veach has kept most of the core together from last season. He re-signed wide receivers JuJu Smith-Schuster and Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown, running back Kareem Hunt and gave star guard Trey Smith the franchise tag.

The most notable departure was Pro Bowl guard Joe Thuney, who was traded to the Chicago Bears in a cap-saving move. Safety Justin Reid (New Orleans Saints) and defensive tackle Tershawn Wharton (Carolina Panthers) left KC to sign multi-year deals in free agency, too.
