The Kansas City Chiefs acquired pass rusher Joshua Uche in a trade with the New England Patriots, coach Andy Reid confirmed Monday.
Uche was a healthy scratch for the Patriots' 25-22 victory over the New York Jets amid trade interest for the fifth-year outside linebacker.
Uche, 26, has two sacks in six games this season and 20.5 sacks in his career. Uche re-signed with the Patriots as a free agent before the season on a one-year, $3 million contract.
He will be an unrestricted free agent after this season. It's the second impact trade made by the Chiefs (7-0), who acquired wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins in a deal with the Tennessee Titans last week.
