Report: Chiefs sign former Packers wideout from Blue Springs, Missouri

According to a report from The Athletic’s Nate Taylor, the Kansas City Chiefs are signing another wide receiver to their 90-man roster.

The Chiefs are signing receiver Darrius Shepherd, per sources.

Shepherd was a tryout participant during the Chiefs' minicamp & he'll have the chance to continue to impress the team in training camp.
