The Kansas City Chiefs have welcomed back a familiar face, injecting a dose of excitement into their already electrifying roster. On Friday, the Chiefs proudly announced the signing of tight end Jody Fortson from their practice squad, bringing him back into the fold after a stint with the Miami Dolphins.
The Prodigal Son Returns
Fortson, who feels like Kansas City’s very own boomerang, returns to the Chiefs clutching the promise of adding depth and energy to their offensive lineup. After his offseason and training camp adventures in the sun-drenched city of Miami, he’s back home where the barbecue is sizzling, and the crowds roar like no other.
A Journey Worth Remembering
Since 2019, Fortson’s journey has been a tapestry woven with determination, hard work, and a persistent chase for greatness. Though he hasn’t graced a regular-season game since last year, his footprint in Kansas City’s football fabric remains indelible. With 19 career games under his belt, Fortson has snagged 14 receptions for 155 yards, finding the end zone four electrifying times.

Anticipation in the Air
The Chiefs now look ahead to their clash with the New Orleans Saints on Monday night. It’s a showdown that promises fireworks, and with Fortson added back into the mix, one can’t help but anticipate a touch of magic. Just imagine him leaping for a touchdown like a fish returning to its stream, bursting through defenders with the hunger of a jaguar on the hunt.
The gridiron awaits, and for Kansas City, this reunion is much more than just signing a player off the practice squad; it’s restoring a piece of their enduring identity. The Kingdom is ready, and so are we—bring on the Monday Night lights!
