It’s slightly amusing that the position that feels most tenuous on the Kansas City Chiefs right now is called “safety.” It feels anything but safe, to be honest.
Three weeks into the regular season, the Chiefs are starting Ron Parker, a man who was released earlier this offseason, and Eric Murray. The presumed starters from a few months ago, back when Parker was in the midst of a short stint with the Atlanta Falcons, are both injured. And the results have been worse than expected—which is saying a lot.
Right now, the Chiefs seem to be in hurry up and wait mode given that the two players expected to return from injury this season are both safeties: Eric Berry and Dan Sorensen.
