KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - A recent wish of star Kansas City Chiefs defensive lineman Chris Jones has been granted. Two weeks ago, Jones stood at the podium inside the Chiefs’ practice facility and advocated for general manager Brett Veach to bring back one of his best friends.

On Wednesday, that wish came true as the Chiefs announced that veteran defensive tackle Mike Pennel has re-signed with Kansas City. Pennel was released Tuesday by the Cincinnati Bengals.

Pennel’s signing was confirmed by his agent, Andy Simms, and the veteran was back on the practice field Wednesday as the Chiefs prepare for an AFC Championship Game rematch with the Buffalo Bills.

The 34-year-old Topeka, Kansas, native played eight games with the Bengals after the Chiefs released him at the end of this preseason.
