Chiefs release veteran running back Cyrus Gray

The Kansas City Chiefs released veteran running back Cyrus Gray on Wednesday, just as training camp practices officially get underway.

Gray joined the Chiefs as a sixth-round selection in the 2012 draft, appearing in 35 games over three seasons as a reserve back and special teams contributor.

Head coach Andy Reid told reporters that cutting Gray, who suffered a torn ACL in Week 10 of the 2014 season, wasn't a medical-related decision.

The Chiefs' roster now sits at 89 players, with one open spot the team can be expected to fill sooner than later.
