Two Chiefs defensive linemen celebrated birthdays on Sunday

The Kansas City Chiefs defensive line has been the subject of endless speculation amid Chris Jones’ holdout through the preseason. The unit has been tested through two exhibition matchups against the New Orleans Saints and Arizona Cardinals, and showed serious improvement in Saturday’s win at State Farm Stadium.

Two of Kansas City’s defensive linemen, Danny Shelton and Charles Omenihu, celebrated birthdays on Sunday after the Chiefs’ preseason Week 2 victory, turning 30 and 26, respectively.

Shelton is a former first-round pick who won a Super Bowl ring as a member of Kansas City’s roster back in February.

Omenihu joined the Chiefs as a free agent in the offseason but will be suspended for Kansas City’s first six regular-season games because of a violation of the NFL’s personal conduct policy.

Both figure to be key parts of the Chiefs’ defensive strategy this season, and with another year under their belts will bring their depth of experience to Kansas City’s up-and-coming front four.
