Chiefs Add Defensive Lineman
On Saturday the Chiefs added rookie defensive lineman Dion Gales to the active roster and he’ll be eligible to play on Sunday against Buffalo.
There was a spot open on the 53-man active roster after the release earlier in the week of NT Kenny Smith. Gales was signed as an undrafted college free agent back in April, was with the team in training camp and the pre-season and has been on the club’s practice squad since the first week of the regular season.
Gales – 6-5, 259 pounds – grew up in New Orleans and attended Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College and Troy University in Alabama.
Sure he is not a LB? 6-5, 259 lbs Seems a little light to me.
OMG, the Star says he will backup Edwards at NT. What is wrong with this picture? 259lb NT.
Magee becomes the number 2 and gilbery as well as they come in at DT on occasion in nickel packages.
lol.. come on Pioli and Haley know what there doing…
The kid was already on the practice squad and it seems to me he could have been left there, if alex k is correct? So why add him to the roster, it is just like carrying 4 TE, just wasted space.
By the by, alex k, the chief’s depth chart shows Gales as the backup DT. Magee and Gilberry are still listed as DE. Where did you get your info?
