Chiefs ILB Josh Mauga is out for the season with a torn labrum in his shoulder.

It’s a big blow to Kansas City’s defense, which will also be minus OLB Justin Houston (knee) for the first six games. Mauga isn’t a difference maker inside, but he is coming off a solid season as a 14-game starter. Next to Derrick Johnson, Ramik Wilson is listed behind Mauga on the depth chart at inside linebacker.

The Chiefs’ official site listed ILB Josh Mauga as an unrestricted free agent.

Mauga reportedly signed a three-year deal prior to the 2015 season, but it is possible those reports were wrong or the contract included a voidable year. Mauga missed all of 2016 with a torn labrum, and he has proven to be a replacement-level starter at best. Going on 30, Mauga likely will not break the bank if he hits the open market.

Chiefs released ILB Josh Mauga.

Mauga was a starter in 2014-15, but missed all of 2016 with a shoulder injury. He languished on the open market until July, and didn’t show enough in the first five weeks of camp to earn a roster spot. Now on the wrong side of 30, Mauga’s career could be winding down.
