Kansas City, Mo. ? Guard Donald Willis was placed on the physically-unable-to-perform list Tuesday by the Kansas City Chiefs, while rookie quarterback Casey Clausen was waived.

Altogether, the Chiefs made seven transactions to reduce their roster to 76 players.

Also waived were wide receiver Zach Fletcher, wide receivers Herb Haygood, Dave Kelmic and Jeris McIntyre, and running back Jonathan Smith.

Every NFL team has to reduce to a 53-man roster by Sunday. They can create an eight-man practice squad Sept. 6.

The 6-3, 325-pound Willis has appeared in 63 games, including six starts, in his seven-year NFL career. He was with Kansas City from 2000-2003.

Clausen was a four-year starter at Tennessee who started 44 games for Volunteers and completed 775 of 1270 passes for 9,707 yards and 75 touchdowns, second in the school’s career list only to Peyton Manning.
