Kansas City tendered Fortson (Achilles), an exclusive rights free agent, Friday, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports.
Fortson caught five passes for 47 yards and two touchdowns across six games during the 2021 campaign before suffering a season-ending Achilles injury during the Chiefs' Week 6 win over Washington. He's expected to be ready by the start of the 2022 season, so he'll have a chance to build off his solid start in 2021.
