Chiefs claim 2 players off waivers

    The Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday claimed two players off waivers, lineman Brian De La Puente from San Francisco and linebacker Erik Walden from Dallas.
    De La Puente, who played on the offensive line for California, entered the NFL this year as a rookie free agent with the 49ers. The 6-foot-3, 306-pounder earned honorable mention Pac 10 honors his senior year.
    Walden, 6-foot-2 and 250 pounds, was a sixth-round pick for the Cowboys. Walden played defensive end for Middle Tennessee State and was the only one of Dallas’ six draft picks not to make the roster.
