Why won't the Chiefs turn to Jeff Allen up front? Only Andy Reid knows.

Head coach Andy Reid insists he'll start the Chiefs' five best linemen, regardless of position.

Reid must not view Jeff Allen as one of those top-five blockers any longer, then.

Allen has been active for the Chiefs for two weeks since his return from a summer knee injury. In that span, he's received a grand total of zero starting snaps -- even when Reid tinkers with his starting five.
