News of a Kansas City Chiefs reunion is in the air on October 29, just ahead of the Week 9 matchup with the Buffalo Bills, and it appears veteran defensive tackle and two-time Super Bowl champion Mike Pennel is coming home to KC. “Sources: The Chiefs are hosting veteran DT Mike Pennel for a visit on Wednesday after he requested and was granted his release from the [Cincinnati] Bengals,” FOX Sports NFL insider Jordan Schultz reported late last night on October 28. “A fan favorite and 2-time Super Bowl champion in Kansas City, Pennel is expected to sign with the Chiefs if all goes well,” Schultz continued, adding: “A move star DT Chris Jones had been hoping for.” Obviously, Schultz is referencing Jones’ public pitch to reacquire Pennel, which was made at the KC superstar’s weekly press conference on October 16. “Mike Pennel is a heck of a locker-room guy,” Jones said at the time. “So many things I can say about my brother. We got to get my brother back.” Now, if all goes well at Wednesday’s visit and likely team physical, it appears Jones will get his wish.
