The Chiefs added some veteran depth at outside linebacker and special teams on Monday when the club signed veteran free agent Tourek Williams, according to the NFL’s transaction wire.
To make room for Williams, the Chiefs released outside linebacker Victor Ochi.
Williams, 26, who is listed at 6 feet 4 and 262 pounds, just completed his fourth NFL season, all with the Los Angeles Chargers.
A sixth-round pick out of Florida International in 2013, Williams has recorded 45 tackles and two sacks in 44 career games. He missed the entire 2015 season because of a foot injury, but bounced back to appear in all 16 games last season, when he recorded 14 tackles — nine on special teams, which tied for the team lead — and a sack.
