Jimmy made a big impression on the Chiefs last year. Hopefully he can keep it going and become a regular on the OL this year.

Note from USA Today after the Chiefs first practice last week:
Jimmy Murray worked in at center with the first team. It seems that there will be some competition for the starting center job.

Looks like Jimmy has a very good chance to be the Chiefs’ backup center this year.

Roster projection from Arrowheadpride.com:
Offensive linemen (9): LT Eric Fisher, LG Andrew Wylie, C Austin Reiter, RG Laurent Duvernay-Tardif, RT Mitch Schwartz, Cameron Erving, Jimmy Murray, Kahlil McKenzie, Nick Allegretti The only difference between my first and second 53-man rosters when it comes to offensive linemen was replacing Ryan Hunter with Jimmy Murray. I think the Chiefs like Hunter, but not more than these nine players, and sometimes, it’s simply a numbers game. The starters are set, Cam Erving is a swing tackle, Murray is the backup center, and I think McKenzie is ready to make the club as a viable backup interior option. The Chiefs also hold onto their seventh-round draft pick in Nick Allegretti, who can play guard and serve as a third-string center (remember, Austin Reiter was the third-string center last year, and now he’s the starter).

Geez, if there is a football fan on Mars, and he visits our planet, he's gonna think HC is a football factory.

From Arrowhead Pride re: last night’s game:
Rookie Nick Allegretti got second-team reps at left guard, holding his own in pass protection fairly well before switching positions with Jimmy Murray and becoming the second-team center. That versatility will be key as a depth offensive lineman this year. The other second-team guard spot went to second-year man Khalil McKenzie, showcasing good athleticism and good anchor against bull rushes. Cameron Erving was the backup swing tackle — as he has been throughout camp — and he was a little bit of a mixed bag. Chad Henne and Kyle Shurmur had quite a bit of pressure from Erving’s side of the line.

Roster prediction from Arrowheadguys.com:
Offensive Line (9) – Eric Fisher, Andrew Wylie, Austin Reiter, LDT, Mitchell Schwartz, Cam Erving, Nick Allegretti, Kahlil McKenzie, Jimmy Murray. If we go with eight, Murray would be the odd man out but only if Allegretti shines as a backup center. Ryan Hunter is a potential Murray replacement. Abdul Beecham, Dino Boyd, Zack Golditch, Pace Murphy, and Chidi Okeke have no chance of staying.

I don’t see any way Jimmy isn’t at least on the practice squad. Hopefully he sticks on the 53. The general consensus thus far has been that he’d be the 9th and final OL on the 53-man roster. He played some guard in addition to center last week so hopefully that makes him a more attractive guy if he shows he can play more than one spot on the OL.

Chiefs have apparently moved their 7th round pick, Nick Allegretti, up to backup center and bumped Murray down to third string. Starting to look like Murray may wind up on the practice squad.

Chiefs reportedly signing veteran free agent OL Jeff Allen today. That will not help Jimmy’s chances of sticking on the 53-man roster. Predicting he starts the year on the Chiefs practice squad.

Jimmy only played 6 snaps last night, reinforcing my view that he is headed for the practice squad.

As expected, Jimmy was cut. Seems like a decent chance he’ll get signed to practice squad after clearing waivers.

They had a receiver come off suspension this week. To make room on the 53, they waived WR Pringle yesterday and today signed him to PS and released Jimmy.

What a merry go round, for Jimmy and Khalif I believe this nonsense cannot be done in the other major professional sports. The football players Union is comparatively weak.

Lots of teams struggle with O-line depth over the course of a season. I predict Jimmy will not be homeless for long.
