  Rotowire Dec 30, 2021

• Football Team's Kyle Shurmur: Backing up Garrett Gilbert

  Rotowire Dec 21, 2021

  Washington elevated Shurmur from its practice squad ahead of Tuesday's game against the Eagles. Shurmur has yet to take his first NFL regular-season snaps, but he'll at least dress as the Football Team's backup quarterback for the Week 15 contest after neither Taylor Heinicke (illness) nor Kyle Allen (illness) were cleared to return from the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday. Though Shurmur has been in the Washington organization since September, the Football Team will turn to the more experienced Garrett Gilbert to make the spot start in place of Heinicke, according to Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post. Gilbert was just signed off the Patriots' practice squad Friday, so if he struggles early on against the Eagles, Washington could be compelled to give him the quick hook in favor of Shurmur.

• Kyle Shurmur: Joins Bengals' practice squad

  Rotowire Dec 17, 2020

  The Bengals signed Shurmur to the practice squad Thursday. Shurmer has spent time with the Chiefs and Broncos already in his young career, and the rookie out of Vanderbilt will now get a chance to grow in Cincinnati. With Joe Burrow (knee) out for the year and Brandon Allen (knee) looking uncertain for Week 15, it's possible that Shurmer gets a chance to join the active roster in an emergency capacity.

• Kyle Shurmur: Signing on with Broncos

  Rotowire Nov 30, 2020

  Shurmur signed with Denver on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Shurmur's most recent NFL experience comes from his time with Kansas City's practice squad, but now he'll join a team that Sunday became the first in 55 years to start a non-QB under center, per the Elias Sports Bureau. A rash of COVID-19 disqualifications to Denver's QB room left practice squad call-up -- and recent wide receiver -- Kendall Hinton as the starting option Week 12 against New Orleans. Shurmur could possibly be thrust into action this upcoming Sunday in Kansas City, but starter Drew Lock recently tested negative for the virus after being considered a high-risk close contact to Jeff Driskel (who tested positive for COVID last week). Broncos offensive coordinator, Pat Shurmur, is Kyle's father.

  The Chiefs waived Shurmur on Monday, Dan Graziano of ESPN.com reports. Shurmur spent time with the Chiefs during the 2019 offseason, and he rejoined the practice squad in November, but he now looks to have been beaten out for the No. 3 role by Jordan Ta'amu. The former Vanderbilt signal-caller will explore options for a similar depth role elsewhere in the league.

• Kyle Shurmur: Returns to Chiefs' practice squad

  Rotowire Nov 5, 2019

  Shurmur was added back to Kansas City's practice squad Tuesday, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports. Shurmur briefly joined the Chiefs' roster after Patrick Mahomes suffered a dislocated kneecap. Chad Henne (ankle) made his return from IR last week, leading to the 22-year-old being waived.
