The Chiefs have added to their outside linebacker rotation by signing free agent Nate Orchard.
Orchard, 25, spent three seasons with the Cleveland Browns before playing with Buffalo Bills earlier this year. He has 69 tackles and five sacks in his career. Orchard was a second-round pick from Utah in 2015.
The Chiefs are in need of outside linebackers. Justin Houston left Sunday’s victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars because of an injured hamstring and Dee Ford has been dealing with a groin injury. Tanoh Kpassagnon sustained an ankle injury Sunday but finished the game.
The move comes one day after the Chiefs signed Frank Zombo, who spent five years with the Chiefs before being cut at the 53-man roster deadline.
