Player News
Sterling was released by the Chiefs on Wednesday, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.
Sterling spent a bit more than a month with Kansas City after signing with the team in June. The 2015 seventh-round pick suited up for five games with the Jets last season, recording six catches for 47 yards. He'll look to compete for a depth role elsewhere in the league.
Sterling signed a contract with the Chiefs on Thursday.
Sterling didn't have to wait very long to find a new team after being let go by the Jets on Tuesday. The 27-year-old was dealing with an undisclosed injury last week, but appears to be healthy as team minicamp comes to an end. With Travis Kelce clearly maintaining the No. 1 tight end spot on the team -- and perhaps the entire league -- Sterling can look to fight for a backup role at best in Kansas City.
Sterling (undisclosed) was released by the Jets on Tuesday, Darryl Slater of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Sterling was held out of practice last week due to an undisclosed injury, and it appears to have cost him a roster spot. Sterling signed with the Jets back in March but will now be back on the open market.
Sterling did not participate in the first day of mandatory minicamp Tuesday due to an undisclosed injury, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
It's unclear exactly what Sterling, who re-signed with the Jets this offseason, is dealing with at this time. The tight end is currently fighting for a depth role at the position.
