Special teams play has been a strength of the Kansas City Chiefs’ strategy in the Andy Reid era, and coordinator Dave Toub has had his fingerprints all over the team’s game plans since joining the coaching staff in 2013. His unit has seen its struggles this season, with their most recent tribulation coming due to the waiver wire.
The team lost one of their most veteran special teamers this week, waiving Chris Lammons from the 53-man roster presumably to make room for the return of TE Jody Fortson. Lammons was claimed by the Bengals this week, and while he can’t join their team until after the Super Bowl in February, he can no longer rejoin the Chiefs’ practice squad and play on Sunday.
