The Kansas City Chiefs have signed free-agent left guard Ryan Lilja in another step toward beefing up their offensive line.

The deal was announced Tuesday. Terms were not released.

Lilja played in 66 games with the Indianapolis Colts, who claimed him off waivers from Kansas City in 2004.

Lilja initially joined the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent in 2004 after finishing his college career at Kansas State, where he was a second-team All-Big 12 selection his senior year.

The 6-foot-2, 290-pound Kansas City native is considered a solid performer when healthy, though he missed part of 2006 and all of 2008 with knee injuries.

Lilja started eight playoff games with the Colts, including two Super Bowls.
