The Kansas City Chiefs adjusted practice squad depth by signing international tight end Thomas Odukoya, utilizing the International Player Pathway Program exemption. The front office added the 6-foot-6 target to expand its roster allowance following final preseason cuts.
The strategic addition bolsters coverage in the tight end room while veteran starter Travis Kelce prepares for his 14th season. Odukoya provides developmental length as the coaching staff builds insurance behind their starting rotation.
Odukoya gives Kansas City another tight end option after joining through the International Player Pathway Program. The move expanded the Chiefs' practice squad to 17 players under the exemption rules.
Born in Amsterdam, Odukoya played college football at Eastern Michigan before entering the NFL through the same pathway with Tennessee.
