Reinforcements up front for KC&#8217;s D.<\/p>\n<p>Buggs, a sixth-round pick back in 2019, spent his first three seasons as a member of the Steelers. Playing in 29 games with Pittsburgh, the Alabama product recorded 31 tackles and a quarterback hit. He played the 2022 season and most of the 2023 campaign with the Lions, enjoying the best year of his career last season. Playing in all 17 regular-season games for Dan Campbell&#8217;s group, Buggs logged career-best marks in tackles (46), quarterback hits (10), passes broken up (2) and forced fumbles (1). He also had a sack.<\/p>\n<p>With players like C.J. Garnder-Johnson and Alim McNeill coming off the injured reserve list, Detroit needed some available spots on the roster. The club waived Buggs as a result, but Campbell admitted that moving on from the 27-year-old wasn&#8217;t an easy decision.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Veteran DL Isaiah Buggs is signing with the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Chiefs?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#Chiefs<\/a> practice squad, per source.

Per Pro Football Focus, 997 of his snaps have been with him lined up in the B-gap before the snap and another 351 are A-gap reps. He joins a room that already has the likes of Chris Jones, Derrick Nnadi, Tershawn Wharton, Neil Farrell and more at the helm as traditional nose tackles or three-techs. At the least, this is solid supplemental depth for the final part of the year and could potentially parlay into a reserve\/futures contract following the conclusion of the season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While the Kansas City Chiefs&#8217; Week 18 game against the Los Angeles Chargers doesn&#8217;t have playoff implications, the team is still thinking ahead.
