The Chiefs also left running back Nate Carter off the practice squad for Sunday’s game against the Falcons. Carter hasn’t played this season, but he played in seven games for Atlanta last season and had nine carries for 60 yards.
The Chiefs also announced that defensive lineman Chris Jones (personnel) will not travel with the team. He will travel to Atlanta alone and he has no game designation.
