The Kansas City Chiefs are currently without starting RT Mike Remmers, who has been sidelined by an injury.
The Chiefs have announced that Remmers is questionable to return to the game with a back injury. Remmers, who is already filling in for starting RT Mitchell Schwartz, has started eight straight games for Kansas City. He was ruled questionable during the Panthers game earlier in the year with a rib injury, but this doesn’t appear to be related.
In his place, undrafted rookie Yasir Durant has been filling in at the RT position. He looked good during his first snaps of the day, especially in the run game. He held his own in pass protection for the most part on that first series even though it ended in a Patrick Mahomes interception.

The team is shorthanded on the offensive line now, if they’re to suffer any other injuries at the tackle position they’ll likely need to do some shuffling of the line. They have interior guys available in Daniel Kilgore and Stefen Wisniewski, but they’d likely need to move Andrew Wylie to tackle in a pinch.
Hopefully, this is a minor injury and Remmers is able to return next week, it’s unclear if or when Schwartz would be able to return from injured reserve.
