Kansas City, Mo. ? The Kansas City Chiefs placed safety Jerome Woods on the injured reserve list Monday and cut eight others before Tuesday’s NFL deadline to reduce rosters to 65 players.

The Chiefs have until Sunday to cut the roster to 53.

Woods was lost for the season after he broke his leg in Saturday’s 17-14 preseason loss to Seattle. The team also placed defensive end Jabbar Threats on injured reserve and cornerback Central McClellion on the physically unable to perform list.

Players cut Monday included running back Frank Moreau, cornerback Reggie Stephens, wide receiver John Capel, fullback Josh Roth, tackle Aaron Crittendon, defensive end Michael Landry, guard/center Brandon Ludwig and punter Adam Wulfeck.
