Rogers was released by the Chiefs on Tuesday, Terez A. Paylor of The Kansas City Star reports. The former five-star recruit had a shaky college career that was largely notable for off-field issues, and he then went undrafted in 2013. Rogers has since spent time with the Bills, Colts and Chiefs, but he didn't get on the field last season. He'll turn 24 on Thursday, and he shouldn't have much trouble finding another opportunity to compete for a roster spot.

The Chiefs have signed Rogers, ESPN.com reports. Off-field issues have been a concern with Rogers, but the 6-3, 215-pound wideout has the size and speed to make a run at a roster spot with the Chiefs in training camp, at a position where the team desperately needs to upgrade.

Rogers was released by the Colts on Monday, NFL.com reports. Rogers' release comes after he was reportedly arrested for DUI on Sunday night. Character concerns caused the talented-but-troubled wideout to go undrafted last year, which came after he was dismissed from Tennessee's football program in college. In a corresponding roster move, the Colts signed safety Dewey McDonald to their active roster on Monday.

Rogers has made Indy's 53-man roster as the Colts elected to keep six wide receivers, ESPN reports. Rogers is likely sixth on the depth chart. He didn't have a great training camp and didn't help himself by adding to his maturity issues by receiving an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for kicking the ball into the stands after scoring a touchdown in the final preseason game. Still, Rogers has the size and talent to succeed in the NFL as he showed potential while recording 14 receptions for 192 yards and two touchdowns in just five games.

Rogers had two receptions for 19 yards, including a seven-yard touchdown, in Thursday's loss to the Bengals. However, he received an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for kicking the ball into the stands after scoring his touchdown. It's not clear if Rogers will make the team as the Colts may not elect to keep six wide receivers. Griff Whalen was a healthy scratch Thursday, which likely means he made the final roster. Rogers' penalty won't help his case since he's had off-field and maturity issues through his career.

Rogers had one reception for a 14-yard touchdown in Saturday's preseason loss to the Giants. Rogers remains in the mix for the fourth wide receiver role with Donte Moncrief and Griff Whalen. He's looked good in two preseason games despite some reports he's had a mediocre training camp, so the third receiver battle may not play out until late in training camp.

Rogers had one reception for 45 yards and was on the field for 33 snaps in Thursday's preseason loss to the Jets. Rogers is battling for the fourth wide receiver role. Rookie Donte Moncrief was listed as the fourth receiver on the team's initial depth chart, but the position battle is in flux. Whoever wins the role could easily get significant playing time with Reggie Wayne returning from a torn ACL and Hakeem Nicks having had injury issues in his career.

Da'Rick Rogers is off to a slow start at training camp. Per beat man Mike Wells, Griff Whalen has "definitely" outplayed Rogers so far. It's another disappointing turn of events for a very talented prospect fighting for the No. 4 receiver job. Still, he's just 23 years old and Reggie Wayne/Hakeem Nicks are on one-year deals. We're still holding Rogers in deep Dynasty formats where we can.

ESPN Colts reporter Mike Wells says the team remains high on Da'Rick Rogers. After Hakeem Nicks' signing, Rogers lost a bit of his luster. But keep in mind Nicks only signed a one-year deal, and Reggie Wayne is nearing the end of the line. While Rogers may not make the second-year leap fantasy owners were hoping for, he's only 23 years old (in June) and his arrow continues to point up. Rogers is the favorite for No. 4 receiver duties, followed by LaVon Brazill and Griff Whalen.

Colts second-year WR Da'Rick Rogers lost much of his 2014 breakout appeal when the team signed Hakeem Nicks. Rogers remains a high-ceiling Dynasty hold, but his path to 2014 playing time is now blocked by T.Y. Hilton, Nicks, and Reggie Wayne, with LaVon Brazill and Griff Whalen also pushing for snaps. Rogers, 23 in June, finished his rookie year with 14 catches for 192 yards (13.7 YPR) and two touchdowns.
