The Kansas City Chiefs have released two members of their roster following the team's three-day mandatory minicamp.
Guard Tremayne Anchrum Jr. and tight end Kevin Foelsch have both been moved on by general manager Brett Veach and head coach Andy Reid.
That's because the team needed to make two spots available on their roster to account for undrafted rookie offensive lineman Joey Lombard and former UFL tight end Geor'Quarius Spivey.
Foelsch, 24, spent last season on the Philadelphia Eagles practice squad but never got on the field for the Super Bowl champions.
Anchrum Jr., 26, was drafted by the Los Angeles Rams in 2020 and won a Super Bowl with Sean McVay's team two years later. Since leaving LA in 2023, he has tried and failed to win contracts with the Seahawks, Saints, Texans and now Chiefs.
The Chiefs are busy adjusting their roster this summer as they bid to regain the Vince Lombardi trophy next season.

Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and their teammates were a win away from a historic three-peat but were blown away by the Eagles 40-22 in New Orleans in February.
Reid said this week he expects to have wide receiver Rashee Rice and first-round draft pick Josh Simmons fully available when the Chiefs report to training camp at Missouri Western State University next month.
Rice is coming off a torn ACL that limited him to four games last season, while Simmons tore a patellar tendon last season with Ohio State.
'I think they're both ready to go,' Reid said after putting his players through a final conditioning test Thursday, which wrapped up three days of mandatory minicamp.
'They actually got great work in these camps here.'
Now Rice and Marquise 'Hollywood' Brown are healthy again and Xavier Worthy will be more experienced, the Chiefs suddenly have three top wide receivers.
And with the return of a trimmed-down tight end Kelce for his 13th season in the NFL, the Chiefs believe they can get back among the best offenses in the NFL.
'That's the goal. You want to be the top offense in the league when you step in the building every day. But at the end of the day, you want to win the Super Bowl,' Mahomes said.
'Our goal is to do whatever we can to win the football game, and hopefully for us, that's being the top offense to go with the defense we have.'
