Right before the 3:20 p.m. (Arrowhead time) practice today, the Kansas City Chiefs added former South Carolina fullback Patrick DiMarco. Josh Looney at KCChiefs.com has the breakdown on DiMarco.

DiMarco joins the Chiefs following a brief training camp stint with the Chargers in 2011. Signed as an undrafted free agent, DiMarco was released by San Diego after fracturing the fifth metatarsal bone in his foot on the third day of training camp last year.
