Kansas City Chiefs sign running back Bishop Sankey
The Kansas City Chiefs have added a running back.
With Jamaal Charles scheduled for another knee checkup, the team has signed Bishop Sankey, per agent Jason Bernstein.
Sankey was signed off New England's practice squad to bolster a backfield that saw lead runner Spencer Ware leave Sunday's win over the Colts with a concussion. While Charcandrick West is the obvious next man up, Sankey serves as insurance after Charles suffered a setback with his knee in Week 7.
Sankey notched 762 yards rushing at 3.8 yards per carry over two seasons in Tennessee before the Titans released the former second-round pick prior to the opener.
