Danny Shelton: Released by Chiefs
Shelton was released by the Chiefs on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Shelton signed with the Chiefs on Aug. 9, but he will now look for a new team after he failed to crack the team's final roster. The defensive tackle played in 13 games with the Giants last season, registering 31 tackles including a half-sack.

Chiefs' Danny Shelton: Signs with Chiefs
Kansas City signed Shelton on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
The Chiefs will be Shelton's fourth team in as many years. As the gap-filling defensive tackle enters his eighth season in the league, he'll compete with Derrick Nnadi and Tershawn Wharton for a starting spot next to three-time Pro-Bowler Chris Jones on Kansas City's front four.

Giants' Danny Shelton: Limited in return to practice

Giants' Danny Shelton: Placed on COVID-19 list
Shelton (undisclosed) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday, Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Shelton's move to the COVID list is magnified by starting nose tackle Austin Johnson being questionable with a foot injury for Sunday against the Eagles. If both miss, the Giants' defensive line depth will be stretched thin.

Giants' Danny Shelton: Listed as doubtful for Week 7
Shelton (pectoral) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's matchup with the Panthers, Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Shelton suffered the injury against the Rams in Week 6 and appears to have avoided a major injury, but he will likely be sidelined for at least one game. If the 28-year-old defensive tackle does miss Week 7, Raymond Johnson may get to see the first snaps of his career.

Giants' Danny Shelton: Dealing with strain
Shelton is considered day-to-day with a pectoral strain after leaving Sunday's loss to the Rams, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Shelton exited Sunday's contest late in the blowout loss, but it doesn't appear as though he's dealing with a major injury. The Giants are optimistic that he avoided a tear, so it's possible that he could be back on the field for the Week 7 matchup against the Panthers.

Giants' Danny Shelton: Leaves early Sunday
Shelton left Sunday's game early against the Rams with a pectoral inury, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Shelton left late in the game, so his absence creates little impact for now. He is the primary man behind Austin Johnson in the Giants' 3-4 defense, though, so any extended time missed would certainly leave the depth chart thin. Shelton will try to return in Week 7 against the Panthers.

Giants' Danny Shelton: Inks deal with Big Blue
Shelton (triceps) is signing a one-year contract with the Giants, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
The 2015 first-round pick is a discount replacement for Dalvin Tomlinson, who cashed in with a two-year, $21 million contract from Minnesota after making 64 consecutive starts for the Giants. Shelton hasn't been quite as reliable, but he did have a 59-tackle campaign in Cleveland (2016) and a year with 61 tackles and three sacks for New England (2019). Shelton then dipped to 37 tackles and one sack in his 12 games (all starts) for the Lions last season, missing Weeks 13-16 with a knee injury before hurting his pectoral Week 17. The Lions released Shelton in mid-March with a failed physical designation, so he still may be rehabbing from the pec issue.
