One day after former Yale fullback/h-back was cut by the Kansas City Chiefs, he was one of eight players signed to Kansas City'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.

Joining Bannon on the practice squad are offensive linemen Darryl Harris, Butch Lewis and David Mims, linebacker Justin Cole, receiver Jeremy Horne, defensive back Quinten Lawrence and defensive lineman Anthony Toribio.

Former Yale captain and defensive end Tom McCarthy was not among the seven players signed to the Atlanta Falcons practice squad. McCarthy signed with the Falcons as an undrafted free agent before being cut on Friday.
