The Kansas City Chiefs signed offensive tackle Jackson Barton off of the Indianapolis Colts practice squad on Monday.
Barton was a seventh-round pick with the Colts in the 2019 NFL Draft but didn’t make the initial 53-man roster during final cuts following the preseason. Barton will now be moved to the Chiefs active roster.

Barton attended Utah where he spent most of his time at left tackle. He also saw some work at right tackle as well during college.
Barton likely wasn’t going to see the active roster for the Colts anytime soon. Though he has great size for the position, his pad level and inconsistent technique made him a project.
