Kansas City Chiefs to cut rookie LB after 2026 NFL preseason
According to a report from NFL insider Adam Schefter, the Kansas City Chiefs are set to release rookie LB Wesley Bissainthe after the NFL preseason.
The Kansas City Chiefs are planning to release rookie linebacker Wesley Bissainthe following the 2026 NFL preseason, according to NFL insider Adam Schefter. Bissainthe was signed by the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent this year but did not stand out during their training camp in St. Joseph. The Miami Hurricane alum received third-team All-ACC honors in 2025 and is reportedly planning to return to college.
The 22-year-old linebacker's move to the Chiefs aimed to provide him with valuable professional experience. Bissainthe's potential college return remains uncertain, but his time with the Chiefs should prove beneficial as he pursues his football career. Further details on where Bissainthe will ultimately play and which linebackers made the Chiefs' 53-man roster will be revealed soon. This report was originally published on Chiefs Wire.
