DeVito (Achilles) returned to the field in the preseason opener against the Cardinals, recording one solo tackle on 10 snaps.

DeVito's action Saturday was his first since a Achilles tear prematurely ended his season early in 2014. Now that he's healthy, the veteran is expected to start at the right defensive end spot.

DeVito (Achilles) indicated Monday that he felt healthy, but cautioned "you never know until you get out there," Adam Teicher of ESPN reports.

DeVito's 2014 campaign ended prematurely due to a torn Achilles, holding him to just one game for the season with just an assisted tackle. He restructured a one-year contract with the Chiefs in the offseason, and will likely start at defensive end once again in 2015.

DeVito agreed to a restructured one-year contract with the Chiefs for the 2015 season Monday, Adam Teicher of ESPN reports.

DeVito lost most of the 2014 season due to a ruptured Achilles tendon, sending him to injured reserve. With more risk involved with him in 2015, the Chiefs were likely to release the defensive end if he didn't take a pay cut, as he would have cut $5.4 million out of the team's salary-cap money. He has decided to take the cut to remain with the team, and will instead only cost the Chiefs $2.9 million in 2015. Assuming he returns to his previous form, he could be in line to start next season.

DeVito (achilles) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, the Kansas City Star reports.

DeVito tore his achilles in Sunday's game against the Titans, cutting short a season in which he was set to make an impact on the defensive line. The Chiefs added Kevin Vickerson on Tuesday to add depth at the position.

DeVito suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon during Sunday's regular season opener against the Titans.

DeVito, a starting defensive end for the Chiefs, will now miss the remainder of this season. Without the veteran's presence, particularly against the run, Kansas City will likely promote Vance Walker to their starting lineup moving forward.

DeVito suffered an Achilles injury during Sunday's game and will not return, The Tennessean reports.

DeVito's Achilles injury comes during the same game Pro Bowl linebacker Derrick Johnson also endured an Achilles issue. Additionally, neither player will return to Sunday's game, leaving the Chiefs without two starters on defense.

Devito (hand) expects to play Sunday against the Titans, the Kansas City Star reports.

Devito has been recovering from a broken finger but it looks like he is ready for Sunday's opener. He will likely start at left end for the Chiefs this season alongside Dontari Poe and Allen Bailey.

DeVito returned to the practice field Monday after previously dealing with a broken finger, the Chiefs' official site reports.

DeVito is expected to see time as a starter on the defensive line for the Chiefs this season. He missed the third preseason game against the Vikings because of the injury, but his return to the practice field heightens the likeliness he'll be ready for the regular season opener.

Chiefs RE Mike DeVito exited Sunday night's Week 11 game with a left knee injury.

He's been ruled out for the rest of the game. Allen Bailey has replaced him in the starting lineup.

The Chiefs plan to use new DE Mike DeVito as an early-down defender who leaves the field in the nickel package.

In other words, they'll use DeVito to his strength. "There's nothing else I'd rather be doing," DeVito said. "I want to hit and be physical every play. If I don't hit somebody, I know something is wrong. That first- and second-down run game, that's where I live." The Chiefs' defensive front seven looks all set besides the inside linebacker position next to Derrick Johnson.

Chiefs signed DE Mike DeVito, formerly of the Jets, to a three-year, $12.6 million contract.

DeVito, 29 in June, is a one-dimensional run stopper who will replace Glenn Dorsey as a better fit for Kansas City's 3-4. Last season, DeVito racked up 52 tackles, a sack, and two forced fumbles as a 15-game starter in Rex Ryan's 3-4.

Free agent DE Mike DeVito is expected to sign with the Chiefs.

Free agent DE Mike DeVito will test the market.

The Jets have reportedly made re-signing DeVito a "priority," but he has eyes a payday. There's been reports of as many as six teams interested. We'll see if that's just an agent drumming up suitors for his two-down run-stuffer.

The Jets hope to re-sign DE Mike DeVito before the start of free agency, but the Newark Star-Ledger reports as many as six teams have "inquired" since the beginning of Saturday's legal tampering period.

ESPN New York believes DeVito is the "best bet to stick around" of the Jets' in-house free agents, but Gang Green is going to have to pay up if he's truly drawing interest from six teams. It would be unwise to overpay for a player who turns 29 in July and doesn't play passing downs.

The Jets are expected to make free agent DE Mike DeVito a "priority" ahead of Tuesday's commencement of the signing period.

It sounds like the sides will be negotiating this weekend. Beat writer Manish Mehta is skeptical of whether the Jets can afford DeVito, despite what will probably be a middling price tag. DeVito is a one-dimensional run stopper.

Jets DE Mike DeVito (questionable, calf) says he is 100 percent.

DeVito participated in position drills at practice and looks set to play on Sunday against the Bills. With the Jets' front line likely to be without NT Sione Po'uha, having DeVito in the lineup can only be a good thing.

Jets LE Mike DeVito has agreed to slash his $2.26 million 2012 salary to a fully guaranteed $700,000.

DeVito has already been paid a $500,000 roster bonus, however, while $950,000 of his $1.56 million pay-cut has been converted to a signing bonus. Also due a $350,000 workout bonus, DeVito's true lost wages come out to "only" $600,000. DeVito should end up backing up No. 16 pick Quinton Coples at left end.

Jets coach Rex Ryan says he doesn't know the role incumbent LE Mike DeVito will handle after the addition of Quinton Coples.

Ryan called Coples the Jets' new starting left end, but regretted it soon after. "I really can't tell you (DeVito's) exact role right now," Ryan said. "I shouldn't have said that about Quinton either. ... I can tell you this about Mike DeVito: He is an outstanding football player." The Jets did recently pay DeVito a $500K roster bonus. He'll likely be a reserve in 2012.

Jets DL Mike DeVito underwent post-season shoulder surgery.

There's no word yet on the severity of a timetable for a return. One of the league's underrated run defenders, DeVito graded out as Pro Football Focus' 10th-rated 3-4 end for the 2011 season.

Jets DE Mike DeVito (knee) is expected back from his knee injury in Week 15.

This would be discouraging news for LeSean McCoy if this year's No. 1 overall fantasy running back wasn't matchup-proof. DeVito has been a stud run defender this season, also racking up 25 tackles and a sack through nine starts.
