Kansas City Chiefs claim defensive end Jack Pyburn off waivers

Former LSU defensive end Jack Pyburn will join the Kansas City Chiefs after being claimed on waivers from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Pyburn had previously planned to return to LSU for a fifth college season if he remained unsigned by an NFL franchise. His agents confirmed he is withdrawing from the NCAA's current litigation concerning eligibility for players returning to college. The defensive end recorded four sacks during the preseason with the Buccaneers but did not secure a spot on their final roster. Pyburn will reunite with former LSU teammate Garrett Nussmeier in Kansas City. His move follows recent efforts by LSU to recruit players with uncertain NFL status, though those efforts face ongoing legal challenges within the SEC.
