The move comes as Buggs was arrested twice in less than a month.
On June 16, he was arrested on a second-degree domestic violence/burglary charge.
Court documents revealed Buggs allegedly used a tire iron to break into the apartment where the mother of his child lived.
A witness accused Buggs of dragging the woman down a set of stairs, causing her to sustain scratch marks on her wrist and lose several clip-on toenails.
On May 29, Buggs was also arrested in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, for alleged animal abuse.
KSHB 41 has reached out to the Chiefs for comment. This story will be updated if a response is received.
