KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Help for an injury-depleted secondary could be on the way for the Kansas City Chiefs, who signed veteran cornerback Steven Nelson to their practice squad.
Nelson, who played nine seasons for four NFL teams, came out of retirement to join the Chiefs.
The Chiefs lost one starting cornerback, Jaylen Watson, in the middle of the season with a broken ankle. He was replaced by Nazeeh Johnson, who was recently benched in favor of Joshua Williams. Williams left Sunday night's game against the Los Angeles Chargers with a shoulder injury.
