Chiefs face backlash over new signing Kristian Fulton

Kansas City Chiefs' new signing, corner Kristian Fulton, has been out of play due to injury, causing criticism.

Fans have also been questioning General Manager Brett Veach’s judgment on this million-dollar signing that seems not to have provided valuable results so far.

Despite Kristian Fulton's absence, all hope is not lost for the Kansas City Chiefs. Young players, including Jaylon Watson and Nohl Williams, have stepped up to help the team, thus making room for new talent.

Their entry further complicates Kristian Fulton's comeback into the roster. He had already been struggling to find place into Andy Reid's rotation for the team.

In the 2024 season, the Chiefs lacked a strong corner, lacked squad depth. With Fulton's signing, hope returned to the Chiefs camp and he became the team's No. 2 corner behind McDuffie. Watson was slated to be the third corner, and Nohl Williams was on the bench as a developmental player.

Fulton failed to give his all in the training camp following an offseason knee surgery. In the second regular-season game, he suffered an ankle injury, following which he is yet to return to the field.

As of now, it is unsure when Kristian Fulton will return in full capacity and whether he will be hold his place once he comes back.
