"The Chiefs have reportedly been awarded former Denver quarterback Kyle Orton on a waiver claim, a day after the Broncos released the veteran.

Orton, 29, could join the team this week, but it's unclear whether he'll be ready to participate in Sunday night's nationally televised contest against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The 6-foot-4, 225-pound quarterback hasn't played since Week 5, when he was benched by Broncos coach John Fox, who opted to start Tim Tebow."
