Veteran defensive lineman Jarvis Jenkins has signed a deal to remain with the Chiefs, per his agency, SportsTrust (on Twitter). The terms of Jenkins’ deal have yet to be reported.
Jenkins, 29, is back with the Chiefs after signing a one-year deal with them last offseason. He appeared in 11 games last season — making one start — and had a sack to go with 11 tackles. Pro Football Focus graded Jenkins as a bottom-30 interior defender among 121 qualifiers.
Jenkins played on only 19% of Kansas City’s defensive snaps a season ago, fifth among Chiefs linemen. He’ll once again serve as depth behind Chris Jones, Allen Bailey, Rakeem Nunez-Roches, and could see more time if free agent Bennie Logan doesn’t re-sign.
