Kansas City, MO (My Sportsbook) - The Kansas City Chiefs have placed running back Jackie Battle on injured reserve and signed linebacker Justin Rogers to fill the roster spot. Battle, who has a shoulder injury that will likely require surgery, played in five games for the Chiefs this season. He carried the ball seven times for 21 yards and also saw action on special teams with six tackles. Rogers spent the past two seasons with Dallas, mostly playing special teams. He had 34 special teams tackles in 31 games and also made three stops on defense. "He's a guy that's got some experience," said Chiefs head coach Todd Haley. "He's been a pretty productive special-teamer and that's been his role here early in his career." Rogers ranked third on the Cowboys last season with 18 special teams tackles. |
