Eric Fisher to start at right tackle for Chiefs on Monday vs. Packers

Eric Fisher will return to the starting lineup Monday night at Green Bay, Chiefs coach Andy Reid announced Saturday.

Fisher, 24, has missed the Chiefs’ last five games as he recovers from a high ankle sprain. He will start at right tackle for Jah Reid, who has started the Chiefs’ first two regular-season games.

Fisher was expected to be ready to start at right tackle in the Chiefs’ season opener, but sources told The Star he opted out of the lineup because of concern over his high ankle sprain. Chiefs coach Andy Reid, however, maintained afterward he made the decision to sit Fisher because of the ankle injury.

Despite the injury, Fisher has logged three offensive snaps as a reserve at left tackle and 10 special-teams snaps as a blocker on the field-goal unit in the Chiefs’ first two games.

He has not played right tackle since his rookie year in 2013, but Reid said Fisher has “done well” in practice this week.

“I mean, he had played over there for the year, his first year,” Reid said. “He’s a pretty good athlete. Easy adjustment.”

Fisher is listed as probable on the injury report, along with fellow offensive lineman Jeff Allen, who has also missed the Chiefs’ last five games, including preseason, because of a MCL sprain in his knee.

“He had a better week this week, so he’s pretty close to 100 percent,” Reid said of Allen.

Allen, a full-time starter at left guard in 2013 who missed almost all of 2014 because of injury, opened training camp as the starter at right guard but was inserted as the starting right tackle in the Chiefs’ preseason opener against Arizona, where he injured his knee.

Alex Smith is another problem all together, but he is getting worse behind this shit OL. Deal is, KC is committed to Smith so they need to build a top tier OL b/c he cant win with anything else.

Wasted pick from day one.

Yep. He is below average. Not even quality depth.

Whoever designed, called or thought that play was a great idea is a ****ing mental moron.

Classic Reid. Philly fan was right, you will hate your team with Reid as the coach.

The play is sound. Ask Priest Holmes. That action is very similar to what got him most of his yards. Fisher being lazy with his steps, and letting his down block get penetration is the problem. Hell, he'd be better off cutting there. But on that down block you absolutely cannot allow penetration.

Fisher actually received a positive grade last night and was your second highest graded offensive lineman after Morse.

Fisher was clearly our best Olineman last night.

After the 1st quarter he shook off the rust and played a solid game.

Don't expect any of the idiots around here to acknowledge that though ... full pitchfork and mob mentality going on right now.

Seems like Morse was actually our 2nd best, Grubb had a rough time

Hilarious ... people pick and chose when PFF is a viable resource or 'stupid' by whether they like the player or not.

And there was at least one night where some guy found your mom to be hot enough to bang.

Or she went to a fertility clinic and got a turkey baster cocktail.

Either way, that great day gave us you, and for that we're thankful.

I agree. And it's clear the weight Fisher put on in the offseason didn't have any effect on his speed. He looks real fast out there chasing the pass rushers to the QB.

He's hot garbage and no amount of time in the weight room will change that.

The only time he looks respectable is pulling and blocking on running plays when he can use his athleticism and leverage...

Not really. What's really hilarious is how anyone can trust a grading system that gave Fisher a positive grade last night. The emperor has no clothes sir. No clothes.
