Elijah Young: Breaking News

Cut by Buffalo

The Bills waived Young on Sunday. Young signed with the Bills on Wednesday after being let go by the Chiefs two days prior. He saw extended action during the Bills' preseason finale against the Buccaneers on Saturday, when he logged 16 carries for 53 yards while adding three catches on as many targets for 40 yards. With James Cook, Ray Davis, Ty Johnson and Frank Gore occupying the Bills' four running backs on the depth chart, there simply wasn't enough room for Young on the 53-man roster. Assuming he clears waivers, Young will look to catch on with a team looking for backfield depth, though he could return to Buffalo to serve on the practice squad.

Catches on with Buffalo

The Bills signed Young to a contract Wednesday. Young was let go by the Chiefs on Monday, but it didn't take long for the Western Kentucky running back to find a new team. He should have an opportunity to show off his skillset during the Bills' preseason finale against the Buccaneers on Saturday.

Let go by Kansas City

The Chiefs waived Young on Monday. Young signed with the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent in late April, but he'll be on the lookout for another team, assuming he clears waivers. The Western Kentucky product rushed for 10 yards on two carries during the Chiefs' 33-16 preseason loss to the Seahawks on Friday.
