ESPN projections have both Whitley and Murray missing the cut line. I am not sure when these were made, what if any inside info the writers have on the roster, and of course late injuries and the IR.
Fingers crossed that it works out.

One projection I saw had BW on the bubble but not making the team. Practice squad maybe?

Here’s USA Today from this morning on Whitley:
Outside linebacker (5) Leonard Floyd Justin Hollins Terrell Lewis Keir Thomas Chris Garrett
It’s going to be close between Benton Whitley, Thomas, Chris Garrett and Brayden Thomas now that Daniel Hardy has an ankle sprain that will cause him to start the year with an injury designation.
I’m switching things up from Whitley to Thomas after seeing the way Thomas played in the preseason finale. He flashed more than a couple times, including a sack and three tackles for a loss in the first half alone.
Garrett is the wild card in it all, playing his first preseason game on Saturday. The coaching staff might still like him more despite his injury history.

Benton cut by the Rams. Could land on the practice squad.

So he has 31 possibilities for practice squad or more in addition to the team that inked him to an UDFA contract.

Seems like he showed enough promise this preseason that he’ll catch on somewhere as at least a practice squad player.

I don't think Benton minds Jourdan keeping an eye on him. Congratulations for making an NFL practice squad out of HC and the PL.

Also of note is that SHU RB Julius Chestnut made the Titans 53.

From the T&G a few days ago, did anyone post this?

BW will have to be on the Chiefs’ active roster for a minimum of three games now.
This is awesome.

Good for BW. Hope he stays on roster longer than 3 games. No doubt Andy, Eric and the rest of the offensive staff will mine him for information to add to the Rams file in case they meet in the Super Bowl.

Really happy for Benton. He had a great preseason for the Rams and deserved this opportunity. I'm sure he kept working hard and proved himself. Go Chiefs!

Inactive again tonight. Will save me some sleep as I prepare for the week of late baseball ahead.

Not surprised but rather unfortunate.

Any idea why "inactive" status? I assume if injured they call it something else, like "injured reserve."

They see him as a future player on the roster, worth the move, but a year away from being a performer
And did it for far less than a draft choice this spring
Just an opinion

Any idea why "inactive" status? I assume if injured they call it something else, like "injured reserve." There are 53 men on the active roster. 46 dress. 7 are declared inactive prior to the game based on the coach’s decision about which 46 he wants to play that day.
