Sorensen is expected to move into a reserve role Sunday in Washington, with Juan Thornhill replacing him as the Chiefs' starting free safety, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Sorensen's benching comes after he was primarily responsible for a 61-yard reception by Stefon Diggs and 53-yard touchdown catch by Dawson Knox in the Chiefs' 38-20 loss to the Bills last week. Though the Chiefs' vulnerable pass defense had presented plenty of tackling opportunities for Sorensen -- he racked up 35 stops through five games -- the 31-year-old has been highly unproductive from a real-life standpoint, as Pro Football Focus has graded him 83rd among the 85 safeties with at least 100 snaps this season.
