The Chiefs placed Ware on injured reserve Wednesday due to a torn rotator cuff, Terez A. Paylor of Yahoo Sports reports.
With that, LeSean McCoy -- a healthy scratch in the Chiefs' Week 16 win over the Bears -- will likely be active for Sunday's game against the Chargers. Meanwhile, Damien Williams and Darwin Thompson remain on in the backfield as the Chiefs head into a Week 17 matchup with the Chargers.
