Bannon cut by Chiefs

Former Yale fullback Shane Bannon was waived by the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday.

Bannon, taken by the Chiefs in the seventh round of April's NFL draft, carried the ball on the Chiefs' first offensive play in the preseason but was not able to make the Chiefs' 53-man roster.

Bannon could be signed to the Chiefs' practice squad.

I'm still waiting to hear on the status of Nate Lawrie. If he is cut by the San Francisco 49ers, there will be no Yale products on NFL opening-day rosters.
