The Chiefs are bringing in running back Bishop Sankey to give them depth in the backfield with Spencer Ware and Jamaal Charles dealing with injuries and it appears he’ll be taking the roster spot of one of their starting guards.
Left guard Parker Ehinger left last Sunday’s victory over the Colts with a knee injury and Matt Derrick of the Topeka Capital-Journal reports that Ehinger will not return to action before the end of the year. Adam Caplan of ESPN adds that Ehinger tore his ACL.
Ehinger was a fourth-round pick this year and took his spot in the starting lineup for the first week of the regular season. He missed two games with a concussion, but started the last three games for Kansas City.
Zach Fulton replaced Ehinger when he was injured earlier in the year and again against Indianapolis, which makes him the likely choice to fill in for the rest of the year as well.
