TE Jody Fortson is returning to the Chiefs on the practice squad, per source. He arrived back in Kansas City last night and is in the locker room this morning.
RB Keaontay Ingram has also re-signed with the Chiefs practice squad.

The way we use the practice squad these days bringing players up to the game day roster I think this is at least worth giving at least a little shit to. Will Fortson ever see the field? Probably not but maybe! [Reply]

This is exactly what the PS is for. Guys that know the offense and can step in in an emergency and young developmental players. Fortson is obviously the former.
My point was that it's not like we added another TE to the 53 man roster, so who cares that it's "another TE". [Reply]
Prety sure LV has this one wrong. In spite of the Chiefs' offensive troubles, LAC's defense is probably not as good as advertised either. Yes, they have some great defensive stats, making them look like a top-5 unit or whatever, but they've also played LVR, CAR and PIT. In other words, they have yet to play a legitimate starting QB/offense. That'll make any defense look good or even great.
And this week they're badly banged up on both sides of the ball. Even with KC's offensive issues this should not be a very close game. If KC plays clean football and Travis gets on track, at least a three-TD margin of victory. If KC plays the way they played ATL, a two score margin, 9 or 10 points.
The only way it's close is if KC plays sloppy or just have a run of bad luck.
I think it would be a different game entirely if LAC was healthy, and much closer to LV's prediction. But they're not. [Reply]
Rashee Rice can capitalize on the Chargers' zone coverage ��
Rice is targeted at the 3rd highest rate among WRs against zone coverage, while LA plays zone at the highest rate in the NFL pic.twitter.com/7urNYWckNd
