The Chiefs waived Hayek (shoulder) with an injury designation Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Hayek has been nursing a shoulder injury since the beginning of August, and the Chiefs have now decided to part ways with the Villanova product. If Hayek clears waivers, he'll revert to Kansas City's injured reserve list and miss all of the 2024 campaign unless the two parties reach an injury settlement.
