Among the surprises of NFL cutdown day for the Chiefs on Tuesday afternoon was the release of quarterback Shane Buchele, who spent the last couple of weeks running the number two offense. Instead, Andy Reid will go with former first-round pick Blaine Gabbert, the former Mizzou and St. Louis Missouri native. There could still be roster movement as waivers clear on Wednesday. The Chiefs will then put together their 16-man practice squad. A couple of notes to point out. DE Charles Omenihu is not on the 53-man roster because of his six-game suspension to start the season and DT Chris Jones was placed on the “reserve/did not report” list. He also isn’t listed on the 53-man roster.
