Chiefs cut ex-Indiana football player Peyton Hendershot then sign him to practice squad

Former Indiana football and Tri-West High School football player Peyton Hendershot was waived by the Kansas City Chiefs on Tuesday then added to the team's practice squad Wednesday.

Hendershot played for Kansas City on special teams in Week 2 after being acquired in a trade with the Dallas Cowboys.

He was inactive in the Chiefs' opener, but he incurred a $5,472 fine − and the Chiefs were fined $100,000 − for pushing Baltimore Ravens linebacker Roquan Smith along the sideline. Hendershot responded to what he felt was a late hit by Smith on Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. No flag was thrown on the play.
