Chiefs could be without LT Eric Fisher, LB Dee Ford against Redskins | Arrowhead Pride

Erving has only been here for a few weeks so there are other options like moving Parker Ehinger to left guard and playing last year’s swing tackle, Bryan Witzmann, at one of the tackle spots. That leads to another question: Do you keep Schwartz on the right side or move him to the left?

Santos, in his fourth season, was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, two days after suffering a groin injury in the Chiefs’ victory at the Los Angeles Chargers. Santos missed three weeks of training camp with the injury.
