The Kansas City Chiefs on Monday released defensive lineman Isaiah Buggs, who has been arrested multiple times in Alabama this offseason.
Buggs was booked on a domestic violence/burglary charge in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, on June 16. That came after he was charged May 30 with two misdemeanor counts of second-degree animal cruelty in Tuscaloosa. Two dogs allegedly under his care — a pit bull and a rottweiler mix — were found to be neglected and severely malnourished. The pit bull had to be euthanized.
Buggs played two seasons for the University of Alabama and was selected by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the sixth round of the 2019 draft. He played three seasons for the Steelers and two for the Detroit Lions before joining the Chiefs in January as a practice squad player. The Chiefs re-signed Buggs to a futures contract in February.
