The season-ending illness to safety Eric Berry has prompted the Chiefs to move cornerback Ron Parker back to the position he maintained while Berry missed time due to an ankle injury. Which means that the Chiefs need to beef up the depth chart not at the safety position, but at the cornerback position.
Toward that end, the Chiefs have worked out a trio of cornerbacks. Per a league source, they’ve taken a look at Ellis Lankster (pictured), Johnny Patrick, and DeMarcus Van Dyke.
Parker’s play during Berry’s absence earned a starting cornerback job for him. Philip Gaines, a third-round rookie from Rice, could be in line to replace Parker at starting cornerback.
