Once Jah Reid found out over the weekend he’d been released by the Baltimore Ravens, the team that drafted him in the third round in 2011, it didn’t take long to get over the surprise.
That’s because Reid, 27, signed a one-year deal with the Chiefs on Sunday and immediately felt like he was at home.
“Getting here and being able to know these guys has made it a lot better,” said Reid, who has a base salary of $750,000 in 2015.
Since he arrived in Kansas City, Reid has practiced primarily at right tackle, which is crucial because projected starter Eric Fisher — who was moved from the left side earlier this week — was listed on the team’s final injury report as questionable for Sunday’s season-opener at Houston because of a high ankle sprain, even though he was a full participant in Friday’s practice.
