Chiefs sign new tight end

News summary

The Kansas City Chiefs have signed tight end Jody Fortson to their roster in response to Travis Kelce's inconsistent performance at the start of the 2024 NFL season. Kelce, who has struggled with only 158 yards and no touchdowns over four games, finally showed improvement in Week 4 with seven catches for 89 yards. This move by head coach Andy Reid indicates a desire for added depth at the position, especially with Kelce's recent struggles and the injury to rookie wide receiver Rashee Rice. Fortson returns to the Chiefs after a stint with the Miami Dolphins and has not played in a regular-season game since 2022. Despite the Chiefs' strong 4-0 start, the team recognizes the need for a backup should Kelce's form dip again. The Chiefs are also considering potential trades for other receiving options amid the current challenges within their offense.
