The Kansas City Chiefs entered Week 1 of this season with five starting offensive linemen that didn’t play for the team in 2020. Six games in, that is no longer the case.
After appearing on the injury report with a hamstring designation in the lead up to Week 6, starting right tackle Lucas Niang was sidelined in favor of veteran Mike Remmers, who went on to play every snap of the game at right tackle.
If that felt like a one-game substitute, it didn’t after offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy spoke to reporters on Thursday.
