In addition to the team's injury settlements, the Chiefs also signed tight end Thomas Odukoya to their practice squad via the NFL's International Player Pathway — a program designed to increase the number of players from outside the United States and Canada.
Veteran beat writer Matt Derrick of Chiefs Digest broke the news of Kansas City's latest moves in a post to his official Twitter account:
While none of these moves will affect the Chiefs' game plan for their Week 1 matchup against the Denver Broncos on 'Monday Night Football,' Kansas City's signing of Odukoya could be important for the team later in the season if injuries affect its depth at the tight end position.
