Dieter was signed to the Chiefs' practice squad Wednesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dieter took the field with Kansas City four times in 2020, during which the wide receiver caught one of his two targets for 20 yards. The 27-year-old bounced back and forth between the active roster and practice squad this season, and even though he resides on the latter, he may be elevated and promoted during the Chiefs' playoff run.
