Eric Fisher could be close to starting, Chiefs coach Andy Reid says

Eric Fisher could be getting close to his first start of the season.

Chiefs coach Andy Reid said Monday that Fisher, the right tackle who has played sparingly while recovering from a high ankle sprain, was the starter in Monday’s practice.

Jah Reid, picked up a week before the regular-season opener, has started the first two games at right tackle. The Chiefs play at Green Bay next Monday.

“Fish did good today, he’s feeling better,” Reid said. “He’ll be in the right tackle spot, and we’ll just see how he does.

“I want to see how he does once we get rolling. Looks like he’s headed in the right direction.”

Fisher has taken some snaps at tackle and played on special teams in the first two games.

Reid also said left tackle Donald Stephenson worked out on Monday. Stephenson injured an ankle against the Broncos, missed two plays, but returned to action.
