The Kansas City Chiefs have made a single roster move ahead of their Week 10 game against the Las Vegas Raiders, and it’s not one that anyone expected.

According to the NFL’s official personnel notice, the Chiefs have placed RT Mike Remmers on injured reserve. Remmers has started games against the Washington Football Team and Tennessee Titans this season, relieving first-year RT Lucas Niang from his original starting spot. The 32-year-old veteran lineman first showed up on the injury report as a limited participant on Friday ahead of the Chiefs’ Monday Night Football game against the New York Giants. Andy Reid has described the injury as swelling, but after two weeks they’ve decided that a stay on injured reserve is the right move.

The Chiefs made no corresponding roster moves to fill Remmers’ spot on the 53-man roster. They had no activations from any reserve list and no practice squad elevations. That’s good news for L’Jarius Sneed, who was questionable entering Week 10 with an ankle injury.

Remmers will be eligible to return from the injured reserve list after three weeks and placing him on the list today makes this week count. That means he’ll be able to be activated following the Chiefs’ Week 12 bye week ahead of their Week 13 game against the Denver Broncos.

This move likely paves the way for Kyle Long to eventually be activated from the Reserve/PUP list, but it won’t happen for Kansas City this week. Look for Long to be activated ahead of the Chiefs’ Week 11 game against the Dallas Cowboys.
