Kansas City Chiefs DT Mike Pennel is officially back with the team, and all feels right because of it.Kansas City is where Pennel first became a Super Bowl champion in 2019, but his roots go back further.

The Kansas City Chiefs signed defensive lineman Mike Pennel on Wednesday, October 29 to reinforce their front four ahead of a Week 9 matchup against the Buffalo Bills.

The Chiefs defense is playing at a very high level, and the offense just returned receiver Rashee Rice from a six-game suspension on Sunday. He had an instant impact, catching seven passes for 42 yards and two touchdowns in the win over Las Vegas.

Kansas City is now the favorite to lift the title after winning back-to-back games despite some early struggles. Patrick Mahomes is in contention to win the MVP award and the Chiefs' defense is playing at an elite level. The true measuring stick for Kansas City will come in two weeks when it plays Buffalo. The Bills had a bye in Week 7.

The Chiefs were down to Derrick Nnadi, who also had returned to the team (after being traded to the New York Jets when last season ended); Jerry Tillery; and Marlon Tuipulotu. Those were the players KC had available to rotate in with Chris Jones during Monday’s win over the Washington Commanders.
