Houston ? The Houston Texans traded punter Steve Cheek to the Kansas City Chiefs on Wednesday in exchange for a conditional seventh-round selection next year.

Cheek has spent time in four NFL training camps during his career, and he has played for the past two seasons in NFL Europe. He was not going to make the Texans because Chad Stanley has a firm grip on the job in Houston.

However, he had looked impressive in camp and had the second-best preseason average among AFC punters at 46.2 yards.
