The Kansas City Chiefs waived defensive end B.J. Thompson (chest) and released linebacker Blake Lynch on Saturday to free up roster spots for undrafted free agents, according to Chiefs Digest's Matt Derrick. According to a source, if Thompson clears waivers, he will revert back to the Chiefs on Injured Reserve and will continue his rehab from the seizure he suffered last June. KC recently signed 16 undrafted rookie free agents. Thompson, 26, was a former fifth-rounder (166th overall) in 2023 out of Stephen F. Austin. He spent all of last year on the Non-Football Illness list after going into cardiac arrest. Thompson played in just one game in 2023 and had two solo tackles. Lynch, 28, went undrafted out of Baylor and debuted in the NFL in 2020 with the Vikings. He has 57 tackles (37 solo), two sacks, an interception, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in four NFL seasons.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
