KANSAS CITY (AP) - The Kansas City Chiefs added three more players on Wednesday to stabilize their hobbled roster.

Kansas City signed linebacker Curtis Gatewood and defensive end Andy Studebaker to two-year contracts, and promoted running back Jackie Battle from the practice squad. Defensive tackle Antwon Burton also was added to the practice squad.

Gatewood signed this year with Washington as a rookie free agent out of Vanderbilt and appeared in three preseason games before being released. He has spent nine weeks on Washington's practice squad this season.

Studebaker was the third of Philadelphia's three sixth-round draft choices and spent the last 11 weeks on Philadelphia's practice squad.

Battle has appeared in six NFL games, getting 47 yards and a touchdown on 14 carries. The former University of Houston player started his career with Dallas after signing as a rookie free agent in 2007.

The Chiefs (1-9) have been besieged by injuries this season, with a staggering 34 transactions just in the three weeks prior to last Sunday's game against New Orleans.
