The Chiefs re-signed defensive tackle Jarvis Jenkins to a one-year deal on Wednesday, according to a tweet from his agent.
Jenkins, who turns 29 in April, has spent six seasons in the NFL with the Chiefs, Washington, Chicago and the New York Jets.
He joined the Chiefs last November after injuries to starters Allen Bailey and Jaye Howard hurt the depth along the defensive line. He proceeded to dress for the final eight games, recording eight tackles, a hurry and a half-sack in 15 defensive snaps.
The addition of Jenkins, along with the recent signing of former Eagles run-stuffer Bennie Logan, fortifies a defensive line that lost 346-pound nose tackle Dontari Poe to the Atlanta Falcons in free agency.
