The Philadelphia Eagles ended up making two roster moves on Tuesday. 

A few hours after signing former San Francisco 49ers running back Tyrion Davis-Price, per his NFL agency, the Eagles also announced that they had signed former Kansas City Chiefs offensive lineman Darian Kinnard to a reserve/futures contract. 

Kinnard, 24, was originally selected out of Kentucky by the Chiefs in the fifth round of the 2022 NFL Draft.  

He made just one regular season appearance as a rookie, playing six snaps on special teams snaps. Unfortunately, Kinnard didn't play a major role in the Chiefs' Super Bowl run as he spent the entire 2023 season on the practice squad. But he is still a two-time champion and he has worked with the best of the best. 

Now, Kinnard will get a fresh start in Philly.
