The Chiefs have three quarterbacks on their initial 53-man roster, but Chris Oladokun is not among them.
Oladokun was waived with an injury designation on Sunday, which means he'll revert to injured reserve if he goes unclaimed and won't be able to play this season unless he's released with an injury settlement. Oladokun started the final two games of last season and has been in the organization since 2022.
Patrick Mahomes will be backed up by Justin Fields and Garrett Nussmeier this season.
The Chiefs also announced that they have released defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah, who played for the team in 2019 and re-signed with them earlier this month.
Linebacker Cole Christiansen, cornerback Kaiir Elam, and cornerback Kader Kohou were released as well. Defensive tackle Omarr Norman-Lott will remain on the physically unable to perform list while wide receiver Jimmy Holiday landed on injured reserve.
The Chiefs rounded out the day's moves by waiving defensive linemen Vincent Anthony, Cole Brevard, Ethan Hurkett, Niles King, Amari McNeill, Damon Payne, and Tyreke Smith; linebackers Kam Arnold, Wesley Bissainthe, and Cam Jones; wide receivers Andrew Armstrong, Jason Brownlee, Jacob DeJesus, Omari Evans, Xavier Loyd, and Jeff Weimer; running backs Emari Demercado, Jaydn Ott, and EJ Smith; offensive linemen Ethan Driskell, Chukwuebuka Godrick, C.J. Hanson, Pete Nygra, Esa Pole, and Josh Thompson; defensive backs Tanner McCalister, D'Arco Perkins-McAllister, DeShon Singleton, Melvin Smith, and Zelmar Vedder; and tight ends Mason Pline and Tre Watson.
