KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- The Kansas City Chiefs have released troubled running back Larry Johnson.
A two-paragraph statement from the team Monday simply listed Johnson's statistics and announced his release. Johnson was due to come off a two-week suspension Monday.
Johnson apparently caused the Chiefs to run out of patience after his latest brush with controversy. He questioned coach Todd Haley's credentials and insulted fans.
Johnson needed 75 yards to breaking the team's career rushing mark.
He established an NFL single-season record with 416 rushing attempts in 2006 when he set a franchise single-season mark with 1,789 rushing yards. He was a first round draft pick in 2003 from Penn State.
