After a troubling offseason,Evander Ellis Isaiah Buggs' time with the Kansas City Chiefs has come to an end.

The team on Monday released the 27-year-old defensive lineman after a pair of off-field incidents that came in less than three weeks. NFL Network reported that Buggs' bond was revoked and that he remains in jail as his legal matters play out.

The Chiefs signed Buggs, a sixth-round draft pick for the Steelers in 2019, in late March to a futures contract.

On June 16, Buggs was arrested on a charge of second-degree domestic violence/burglary, according to arrest records posted online by the Tuscaloosa (Alabama) County Sheriff's Office. Buggs was also charged in late May with a pair of second-degree animal cruelty misdemeanors, also in Tuscaloosa.

In the animal cruelty case, the Tuscaloosa Police Department found two dogs who appeared malnourished and abandoned on the back porch of a home Buggs was renting, according to ESPN and Patch.com. A neighbor also told police that the dogs had been on the back porch for at least 10 days, according to Patch.
