The Chiefs’ ever-shuffling offensive line took another twist with Monday’s announcement that left tackle Jeff Fisher, who missed most of the preseason with a high ankle sprain, would be return to action for Sunday’s opener at Houston.
And start at another position.
Fisher will open at right tackle, Coach Andy Reid said. Donald Stephenson will start at left tackle.
The rest of the starting offensive line: Ben Grubbs at left guard, Mitch Morse at center and Laurent Duvernay-Tardif at right guard.
“We’re going to play the five best, and Fish gives us a whole lot of flexibility, he can play any position on the offensive line, and play at Pro Bowl caliber,” Reid said.
