Former Yale fullback/h-back Shane Bannon was cut from the practice squad of the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday so that offensive lineman Lucas Patterson could be added to the team's practice squad.

Bannon, who was taken by the Chiefs in the seventh round of April's NFL draft, played in all four preseason games for Kansas City and had two carries against Tampa Bay.

The release of Bannon leaves only defensive end Tom McCarthy, who is on the Jacksonville Jaguars practice squad, as the only Yale product on an NFL roster or practice squad roster.
