The Kansas City Chiefs signed free-agent cornerback Chris Johnson on Tuesday, as the team searches for a starter to play opposite Patrick Surtain.
Kansas City has been looking for help in the defensive backfield after releasing Eric Warfield and Dexter McCleon last month. Johnson appeared in 14 games and started once for the St. Louis Rams last season, recording 25 tackles while also spending time as a kick returner.
