Chiefs sign Kansas City native to practice squad

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - The Chiefs are bringing DeMarco Cosby back home. The Kansas City native has been signed to the team's practice squad.

Cosby entered the NFL as an undrafted rookie with the Rams in 2011. He spent some time on the team's practice squad before signing with the Packers in July. Green Bay released him before the start of the regular season.

After graduating from Lincoln Prep High School, Cosby moved on to the University of Central Missouri. He is the Mules' all-time leader in receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns for a tight end.  Cosby caught 71 passes for 970 yards and 10 touchdowns in his senior season. Those were all single-season records at the school for a tight end.
