The Kansas City Chiefs released C.J. Spiller on Thursday, marking the second time in under a week that they have cut the running back.

Kansas City also released offensive lineman Jordan Devey, with the moves coming just hours ahead of the team's season-opening game against the defending champion New England Patriots.

The departures of Spiller and Devey likely are moves that allow the Chiefs to sign them following the season opener without guaranteeing their contracts.

Spiller initially was released during the team's final cut down on Saturday, only to be brought back the following day when cornerback Steven Nelson was placed on injured reserve.

The Chiefs are expected to rely on rookie starter Kareem Hunt, backup Charcandrick West and fullback Anthony Sherman versus the Patriots.

Devey was set for a backup role against his former team, with which he spent parts of the 2013 and all the 2014 season.
