Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams and safety Jordan Lucas missed their sixth consecutive practice Sunday due to hamstring injuries. Carlos Hyde and Darrel Williams primarily worked with the first team in Williams’ absence, with rookie Darwin Thompson occasionally mixing in.
Offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy confirmed that Williams remains the Chiefs’ first option at running back despite his week-long injury.
“Obviously, he’s the starter,” Bieniemy said after Sunday’s workout. “We need to make sure that Damien continues to do the things that he needs to do in order to help himself to be ready when called upon—things in the training room with (head athletic trainer and vice president) Rick (Burkholder), and that’s going to take care of itself.
