8:15 a.m. | The Kansas City Chiefs enter their final day of training camp Wednesday.
Wednesday is also Military Appreciation Day at camp.
Yesterday saw the team cut five players per a requirement to trim the roster down to 85 men.
Among them was wide receiver Antonio Callaway, whose release came as a bit of a surprise. He was waived with an injury designation (bone bruise).
The Chiefs, along with all NFL teams, must cut the roster to 53 men by Aug. 31.
KSHB 41 Sports' Nick Jacobs compiled a list of the players he predicts will be on the final roster.
He and KSHB 41 News' Tod Palmer discuss in the latest episode of "4th and 1."
