Kansas City, MO (Sports Network) - The Kansas City Chiefs acquired Chris Chambers off waivers on Tuesday, a day after the wide receiver was released by the San Diego Chargers.

Chambers was cut loose on Monday following the emergence of pass catcher Malcolm Floyd.

The 31-year-old, who was obtained by San Diego from Miami prior to the 2007 trade deadline in exchange for a second-round pick, recorded just nine catches for 122 yards and a touchdown in seven games with San Diego this year.

For his career, the nine-year vet has amassed 6,827 yards and 53 touchdowns on 482 catches in 131 games for the Dolphins and Chargers.
