(AP) - The Kansas City Chiefs put Tony Moeaki on injured reserve after the second-year tight end was hurt in their final preseason game against Packers.
The Chiefs also put linebacker Gabe Miller on IR and waived 25 other players to reach the 53-man limit.
The loss of Moeaki is a significant blow to the defending AFC West champions. Moeaki caught 47 passes for 556 yards and three touchdowns last season. That leaves tight ends Leonard Pope, Jake O'Connell and Anthony Becht to fill in, though Kansas City could add someone else off waivers.
