The Kansas City Chiefs have decided to add depth to their injury-prone offensive line by signing veteran guard Patrick Omameh.
According to reports around the league, Omameh won’t be added to the team’s active roster right away. Instead, he will join the Chiefs’ practice squad.
This is the third stop for Omameh this season after spending time with the Las Vegas Raiders and New Orleans Saints earlier in 2020. The 31-year-old veteran made six appearances for the Raiders, playing on both the offensive and special teams. He didn’t get to see the field with the Saints.
It isn’t a surprise that the Chiefs picked up Omameh because he can play multiple positions on the O-line. Over the course of his NFL career, he lined up as a right guard and left guard but also saw playing time on tackle.
Patrick Omameh entered the NFL in 2013 as an undrafted free agent out of Michigan. He suited up for six different organizations since then, including the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Jacksonville Jaguars. As a pro in the NFL, he’s played 87 games and started 57 times.
