The most likely scenario is that Nelson is being brought up as emergency depth. The 32-year-old began his career with the Chiefs in 2015 and will look to end it at the top with a Super Bowl victory.

The Kansas City Chiefs reunited with veteran cornerback Steven Nelson on December 9, but they have yet to call upon him in a game since luring him out of retirement. Could that change on February 9?

Kansas City fans overwhelmingly approve of bringing Nelson back. Three in four of the Chiefs’ fans think the team will be able to rest its starters in the Week 18 game against the Denver Broncos.
