ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (AP) Derrick Johnson and Mike DeVito made it through all of training camp last season, through the long practices and insufferable heat on the campus of Missouri Western State University.
Neither of them made it through their first game of the season.
Johnson, a three-time Pro Bowl selection, went down before halftime of the season opener with a torn Achilles tendon, leaving him 15 tackles shy of breaking the franchise's career record.
DeVito, a key part of the Chiefs' run defense, went down with the exact same injury just eight plays later, creating a 300-pound hole in the middle of their line.
