The Chiefs signed Ott to the practice squad Monday.
Ott joined the Chiefs on May 1 as an undrafted free agent and played in all three of the team's preseason games. He was waived Sunday after failing to crack the 53-man roster, but Ott will stay in Kansas City on the practice squad. The Oklahoma product would be a top candidate for elevation to the active roster if the Chiefs require additional depth in the backfield.
