Offensive lineman Jeff Allen returns to original team, signs with Chiefs

The Chiefs have signed offensive lineman Jeff Allen to a free-agent contract.

Allen, who spent the previous two seasons with the Houston Texans before he was released in July with an injury settlement, returns to his original team.

Allen was the Chiefs’ second-round draft pick in 2012 and has played tackle, guard and center in his career.

The move comes at a time when the Chiefs have had injury issues with offensive linemen. Guard Laurent Duvernay-Tardif suffered a broken fibula and torn ankle ligaments against Jacksonville two weeks ago.

There’s no place like home.
