INDIANAPOLIS — Kendall Langford has built his career out of finding a way into the lineup each and every week, now in his ninth year in the NFL.
For now, however, Langford — who has the longest active games-played streak among all NFL defensive linemen — will be forced to sit out for the first time in 135 career regular season games.
Indianapolis head coach Chuck Pagano confirmed Friday that Langford will not play in Sunday’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs at Lucas Oil Stadium, as the veteran defensive end continues to deal with a right knee issue that required minor surgery early during training camp.
