Chiefs coach Andy Reid again said Monday that the decision to sit right tackle Eric Fisher for the season opener was his alone, and that Fisher did not ask out of the starting lineup.
“That’s an absolute no, he didn’t go to any coach,” Reid said, repeating what he said Sunday following a 27-20 victory at Houston.
Prior to Sunday’s game, a source told The Star that Fisher told the Chiefs late in the week that he wanted to opt out of starting at right tackle Sunday against the Texans because of concern about his left high ankle sprain.
