Remmers (knee) signed a contract with the team's practice squad Monday with the expectation that he'll join the team's active roster after a week or two, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Remmers played four games for the Chiefs before being placed on injured reserve with a knee injury in Week 10 last year. As a result, the 33-year-old has been working his way back this offseason, but he received full medical clearance before joining up with New York, Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus reports. Remmers started 85 games while playing with multiple teams dating back to 2015, and he should help provide veteran depth to the Jets' undermanned offensive line.

Chiefs' Mike Remmers: Dealing with back spasms
Rotowire

Kansas City has completely revamped its offensive line this offseason, adding Orlando Brown, Joe Thuney and Creed Humphrey, after allowing 10 QB hits during their Super Bowl loss to the Buccaneers. Lucas Niang and Prince Tega Wanogho are likely to see more reps during training camp if Remmers continues to miss time.

Rotowire

Rotowire
Remmers (back) was labeled as questionable to return to Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins.

Remmers may have soon been bumped from his RT duties even if not dealing with injury, but he nonetheless provides value given his ability to plug in at multiple spots along the line.
