Bo Jackson Jersey ,115commentsPDTFor fans of Chiefs rival teams their recent incidents of domestic and family violence and assault have become a punchline. But there’s nothing funny about what’s been happening with regard to the team and what has become seemingly more than a coincidence in how many cases of violence against women and children they’ve seen with their players.USA Today did a deep dive into the myriad of incidents that have occurred with the Chiefs and found that in recent years the organization is far and away the worst offender.Tyreek Hill’s incident is not isolated for him either. In 2015 at college at Oklahoma State, he pleaded guilty to assaulting and choking his girlfriend. He would serve probation for the incident. A few months later the Chiefs used a fifth round pick on him. That’ll teach him.The audio recording upon which Hill’s child abuse charge is based has his fiancee telling Hill that their son is terrified of him and Hill responding “You should be terrified of me too.” That surfaced just over a month ago and Hill remains with the team.That situation is pretty fresh, but it was just last December that the Chiefs were faced with a video that surfaced of star running back Kareem Hunt kicking a woman in a hotel.To their credit, they quickly cut Hunt from the team, but that has certainly not always been their preferred course of action.Among the long list of domestic violence and assault perpetrated by Chiefs players is another former running back, Larry Johnson, who on two separate occasions during his time in Kansas City was charged with domestic abuse. The first of which involved threatening his wife with a gun.And these incidents are just in the past 15 years. Since then the rest of the league has been trying to clean up their act. While over the past eight years in particular, the average for Chiefs players being involved in domestic abuse and assault incidents is double the league average.“At some point, it’s going to be bad for the Kansas City Chiefs’ bottom line if they keep ignoring domestic violence and if they continue to select players with those kinds of histories,” Kim Gandy, president of the National Network to End Domestic Violence, told USA Today.The report details the history of domestic abuse runs deep with the Chiefs organization and includes, not just players, but many in the Hunt family as well. It’s not pretty and the Chiefs organization is clearly nowhere near the point of cleaning it up.Follow @LeviDamien The Oakland Raiders placed defensive tackle Justin Ellis on season-ending injured reserve with a knee injury Saturday and cut two undrafted players who had shined in the preseason as they reduced their roster to the 53-player limit.Ellis had been dealing with the injury for much of camp and never was able to get healthy enough for coach Jon Gruden to believe he could contribute this season on the defense.Ellis, a fourth-round pick in 2014, received a three-year

"Since he's been here, Justin's been hurt — to no fault of his own — I mean it's a legitimate football injury. because of that. I think, again, as we go ahead philosophically with younger, more athletic, consistent, available players, we felt like that was a roster spot we could use in a different direction."Undrafted rookie defensive tackle Anthony Rush appeared to have a chance to fill that role with a strong preseason that included making four tackles at or behind the line of scrimmage in his first game.But the Raiders instead went with more experience at the position with recently signed Corey Liuget, Johnathan Hankins and second-year players Maurice Hurst and P.J. Hall getting the nod."At the end of the day, he's very raw," Mayock said of Rush. "He's a guy that I think has a future in the league, but for us today, it was not his day."Receiver Keelan Doss
Womens Derek Carr Jersey , another undrafted rookie who shined at times in the preseason, also was cut as the Raiders went with more veterans such as JJ Nelson and Ryan Grant at the position.The move to shut down Ellis for the season leaves just two players on the roster from the 2012-15 draft classes with starting quarterback Derek Carr and guard Gabe Jackson, who will miss the first month with a knee injury.The Raiders did keep four undrafted free agents with punter A.J. Cole, offensive lineman Andre James, fullback Alec Ingold and cornerback Keisean Nixon all making the roster. Oakland had kept more than two undrafted rookies on the initial roster just once in the past seven seasons with four also making it in 2014.Among the other notable cuts were last year's starting fullback Keith Smith, 2018 fourth-round cornerback Nick Nelson and special teams standout linebacker Kyle Wilber.The other players cut on Saturday were receivers Marcell Ateman, Rico Gafford, Keon Hatcher and De'Mornay Pierson-El; linebackers Jason Cabinda, Te'Von Coney and Koa Farmer; offensive linemen Lester Cotton Sr., Denver Kirkland, Tyler Roemer and Justin Murray; defensive lineman Quinton Bell; running back James Butler; and cornerback Dylan Mabin.Tight end Paul Butler was waived with an injury designation and guard Richie Incognito and cornerback Nevin Lawson were placed on the suspended list.More moves could be coming in the next few days as Oakland kept 11 defensive backs and only four linebackers on the roster. Mayock pointed out that the Raiders have more than 30 players on the roster who weren't there to start last season as part of an overhaul after a 4-12 record last year."I think we're excited because we kind of feel like what we hoped to accomplish eight months ago when Jon and I sat down together and talked about it was to get younger, more athletic and the right kind of mentality in this building," Mayock said. "We think we've been pretty consistent with that and we're real excited about the guys on this roster."
