SEATTLE _ Chiefs running back Spencer Ware left the preseason game against the Seattle Seahawks on Friday with a knee injury.
The Chiefs a short time later confirmed that Ware was out for the rest of the game.
Ware suffered the injury on the Chiefs' opening drive. It's unclear exactly what happened, as replays showed Ware catching a pass from quarterback Alex Smith and breaking some tackles before being taken to the ground.
Ware, 25, is expected to be the Chiefs' starting running back this season. The 5-foot-10, 229-pounder rushed 214 times for 921 yards and three touchdowns last season, his first as the team's No. 1 running back.
