On Wednesday, we learned that the Kansas City Chiefs have poached a rookie defensive end from the Los Angeles Rams’ practice squad.
Normally we get word of these signings from reporters who have sources within the team’s personnel department — but in this case, it was head coach Andy Reid who announced during his Wednesday press appearance that former Holy Cross defensive end Benton Whitley is being signed to the team.
Under current practice-squad rules, this means that Whitley must remain on Kansas City’s active roster for at least three weeks.
