KC Chiefs’ Frank Clark, Charvarius Ward, Rashad Fenton ruled out for Sunday at Eagles
The Chiefs’ defense is officially down three players for Sunday’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field.
Chiefs coach Andy Reid announced Friday that cornerback Rashad Fenton will be designated as out for Week 4, meaning he will not play in Philly. Fenton, who suffered a concussion in Week 3, did not practice this week and remains in the NFL concussion protocol.
On Saturday, defensive end Frank Clark (hamstring) and cornerback Charvarius Ward (quad) were also ruled out for Sunday’s game. Neither Clark nor Ward played last week, either.
Defensive end Mike Danna, who recorded a sack last week, will start in Clark’s place. The Chiefs will likely also incorporate Alex Okafor and rookie Joshua Kaindoh in their pass-rush rotation.
The Chiefs are left with cornerbacks L’Jarius Sneed, Mike Hughes, Deandre Baker and Chris Lammons on their active 53-player roster with Ward unable to play.
Defensive lineman Chris Jones (wrist) and tackle Orlando Brown Jr. (groin) returned to a full practice Friday after being limited the previous two days. The Chiefs didn’t assign a game designation to either player, signaling both are available for a normal workload.
Second-year linebacker Willie Gay Jr., who was observed on the practice field Wednesday and Thursday without his helmet, remains on injured reserve as he recovers from a toe injury.
