Former Southeast Missouri State University football standout Brian Hinton was one of three players released Thursday by the Kansas City Chiefs just a day before training camp was scheduled to begin.
Hinton, an undrafted free agent, and the others were released as the Chiefs made room on their training-camp roster for four players they signed Thursday.
Hinton, a cornerback, earned all-Ohio Valley Conference honors last season as he led the league in interceptions.
It was not immediately known whether Hinton would sign with another NFL team.
