<p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.arrowheadpride.com/">Kansas City Chiefs</a> signed DL Aityyah Ellison last week after trading away DE Alex Magee to the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.bucsnation.com/">Tampa Bay Buccaneers</a>. Ellison's stay in KC didn't last long as he was released this week, <a href="http://www.arrowheadpride.com/2010/10/27/1777464/kansas-city-chiefs-reportedly-waive-atiyyah-ellison">according to Adam Caplan of FOXSports.com.</a></p>
<p>Ellison was signed last week before the Chiefs played the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.bigcatcountry.com/">Jaguars</a>. Coincidentally (or not), Ellison most recently played for the Jaguars.</p>
<p>Todd Haley said last week that Ellison's signing wasn't about getting information on Jacksonville.</p>
<p>The Chiefs worked out at least four players in the last week -- WR Sam Aiken, WR Kelley Washington, LB Pierre Woods and S <span>Gerald Alexander</span> -- so those are names to keep an eye on.</p>
<p>Which position do the Chiefs need to upgrade? I could see WR being one because WR Chris Chambers has been inactive the last couple weeks.</p>

<p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.arrowheadpride.com/">Kansas City Chiefs</a> needed to fill an open roster spot that was created with the trade of DE Alex Magee to the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.bucsnation.com/">Tampa Bay Buccaneers</a>.</p>
<p>They did so with <a href="http://www.arrowheadpride.com/2010/10/20/1763614/chiefs-sign-former-mizzou-and-jaguars-dt-atiyyah-ellison">former 2005 third round pick DT Atiyyah Ellison.</a></p>
<p>Kansas City area folks will remember him as the former Mizzou DT.</p>
<p>Ellison also has experience playing for the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.bigcatcountry.com/">Jacksonville Jaguars</a> which happens to be the Chiefs upcoming opponent.</p>
<p>Ellison has some 3-4 defense experience so we'll see how quickly he can get in there.</p>
