The Kansas City Chiefs have dealt with numerous injuries on both sides of the ball this season. Each lost player has forced general manager Brett Veach and the front office to look outside the organization to add veteran talent.
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, recently retired cornerback Steven Nelson is expected to visit the Chiefs on Monday for a potential reunion. His long-time agent, Josh Arnold, confirmed this visit, as Nelson could be an option to rejoin the organization he began his career with after being drafted in 2015.
In the first four seasons of his career, he played for Kansas City, starting in 38 of his 52 games. He collected four interceptions and 182 tackles before leaving in free agency before the 2019 season. He announced his retirement in June after nine seasons but could be ready to put on his pads again for a chance at a Super Bowl run.
Nelson made stops with the Pittsburgh Steelers and Philadelphia Eagles and spent the last two seasons with the Houston Texans. He appeared in 130 career games with 115 starts, recording 13 career interceptions, 87 passes defensed, two forced fumbles, one sack, and 456 total tackles.
