12 Chiefs Who Will Be Cut By Tuesday's Roster Deadline

The final week of the NFL preseason is here and while the Kansas City Chiefs were one of the first teams to wrap up their final game, they still have the same amount of time to figure out their 53-man roster as every other team.

Tuesday, August 27th will be the deadline for the cutdowns which unfortunately means there will be hundreds of players let go. For the Chiefs, that could very well include these 12 players who are on the roster bubble.

12. Fabien Lovett, DT

Fabien Lovett began his collegiate career at Mississippi State where he was a redshirt in his freshman season. In 2019, he saw action for the first time, recording 19 tackles and a sack for the Bulldogs. That proved to be his final season with the SEC program as he headed to Florida State for the next four seasons.

With the Seminoles, he appeared in 39 games and had 74 tackles (12 for a loss) with five sacks. His stat line wasn't wildly impressive but he was a space-eater at 6-foot-4 and 314 pounds. That wasn't enough to get him drafted but the Chiefs liked him enough to sign him to an undrafted free-agent contract.

Unfortunately for Lovett, he didn't stand out much in the preseason. He had just two tackles and there are far too many other options ahead of him for the rookie to make the 53-man roster at this point. Perhaps he's retained on the practice squad but right now, that's likely his ceiling.
