Even without seeing the field in Week 13, Pole’s promotion hints at growing trust from the Chiefs and a position room preparing for major offseason change.
The short flirtation between Week 12 and Week 13 turned out to be only that for Esa Pole in the short term. But the fact that the Kansas City Chiefs even made the overture that they did could signal a bigger commitment when all is said and done.
Pole, a rookie offensive tackle for the Chiefs, was promoted by the team from the practice squad to the active roster, along with safety Mike Edwards, for the Thanksgiving Day game against the Dallas Cowboys.
