The Chiefs have added a little depth to their running back group courtesy of a veteran pickup.
Running back Carlos Hyde signed a one-year deal with the Chiefs on Saturday, a source told The Star.
Hyde, 28, was released by the Jaguars on Friday afternoon. Traded to Jacksonville from Cleveland midway through the season for a fifth-round pick, Hyde didn’t score a touchdown in the eight games he spent with the Jaguars. He played behind TJ Yeldon and Leonard Fournette and was never really able to find his niche.
Though Damien Williams enters the new year as the Chiefs’ starting running back, Hyde would be a good, veteran complement.
