Chiefs are waiving C Darryl Williams, per source.
The 6-foot-3, 310-pound Williams spent time on the team's practice squad last year. Wouldn't surprise me if he's back again this year, but no guarantees.

Edwards had a strong showing in the third preseason game against the Vikings with run-stuffing plays at the goal line. He's another good candidate to return to team's practice squad if the Chiefs want him there.
