When will Melvin Ingram make his debut with the Chiefs?

Melvin Ingram will be suiting up for the Kansas City Chiefs sooner than you think.

The Kansas City Chiefs made a big splash at the NFL trade deadline by dealing for Melvin Ingram from the Pittsburgh Steelers to bolster their pass rush.

At the halfway point in the season, the Chiefs find themselves at a disappointing 4-4. They would be 3-5 if not for eking out a tight one at home to the New York Giants on Monday Night Football. Kansas City has a lot of issues all over the gridiron, but adding a former Pro Bowl pass-rusher in Ingram might be the addition that helps this team get back to good. When is his first Chiefs game?

Ingram should make his debut in Kansas City uniform very soon against an elite football team.

Melvin Ingram Kansas City Chiefs debut: When is his first game happening?

Barring anything unforeseen, Ingram should be making his Chiefs debut vs. the Green Bay Packers at home on Sunday afternoon in Week 9. Green Bay has won seven games in a row after dropping their series opener to the New Orleans Saints in Jacksonville. The Packers are running away with the NFC North and look to be one of the very best teams in their conference yet again this season.

As for Kansas City, the Chiefs need to build on this tough win over the Giants, as it does not get any easier for them the rest of the way. They have five division games left, as well as dates vs. the Dallas Cowboys, the Cincinnati Bengals and the Steelers after taking on the Packers next Sunday afternoon. Simply, the Chiefs are hoping to get nine games out of Ingram towards a playoff push.

By trading for Ingram, the Chiefs are expecting he can come in and make an immediate impact.
