  • Chiefs' Carson Steele: Set for first crack at No. 1 role

    Steele appears set to get the first chance at the No. 1 role in Kansas City's backfield in Week 3 versus the Falcons, Charles Goldman of AtoZSports.com reports.

    Steele will look to step up in the absence of Isiah Pacheco (fibula/ankle) after Pacheco was diagnosed with a fractured fibula Monday. Steele turned seven carries into 24 yards Week 2 versus the Bengals, and he's produced 27 yards on nine rushes through two games this season. Head coach Andy Reid said Monday that Steele will "have to step it up there and in that role" and that "this will be a good challenge for him." The 21-year-old won't be the team's only option in the backfield, as veteran Samaje Perine will likely also see an uptick in usage after playing nine of the team's 65 offensive snaps Week 2, though Perine's value is more evident in the passing game.

  • Chiefs' Carson Steele: Larger workload could await

    Steele carried seven times for 24 yards while playing 14 of Kansas City's 65 snaps on offense in Sunday's 26-25 win over the Bengals.

    Steele is averaging just 3.0 yards over his first nine NFL carries, but the undrafted rookie out of UCLA could nonetheless be headed for an expanded role in the offense with Isiah Pacheco (fibula/ankle) expected to land on injured reserve, according to Charles Goldman of AToZSports.com. Along with Steele, Samaje Perine -- who played nine of 65 snaps in Week 2 -- should take on extra work, though Kansas City may prefer to limit Perine to a passing-down role. The team will almost certainly add another running back or two to the 53-man roster before Sunday's game in Atlanta to help replace Pacheco, making it difficult to project what Steele's workload might look like.

  • Chiefs' Carson Steele: Rushes twice in NFL debut

    Steele logged two carries for three yards during Thursday's 27-20 win over the Ravens.

    Steele also returned one kickoff for 28 yards. The undrafted rookie played just five offensive snaps Week 1 despite Clyde Edwards-Helaire (illness) not being available behind starter Isaiah Pacheco, but there's room for Steele's involvement to grow as he better acclimates to the Chiefs offense. Edwards-Helaire won't be eligible to come off the reserve/non-football injury list until at least Week 5, so Steele will get another opportunity to handle a key depth role Week 2 versus the Bengals.

  • Chiefs' Carson Steele: Could mix in more with CEH out

    Steele could see significant playing time early in the season, starting with Thursday's game against the Ravens, as teammate Clyde Edwards-Helaire will miss at least four weeks after being placed on the non-football illness list Monday, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

    Steele profiles as the third option in Kansas City's backfield behind Isiah Pacheco and Samaje Perine, though Perine has been with the team for only two weeks and thus may not be available in all situations. Steele made the 53-man roster after a strong training camp and preseason.

  • Chiefs' Carson Steele: Earns spot on initial roster

    Steele has a spot on Kansas City's initial 53-man roster, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    The 225-pound undrafted rookie was a preseason standout, taking 11 carries for 87 yards and two touchdowns. The team lists him at fullback on its depth chart, and coach Andy Reid mentioned the possibility of using him in that role, but Steele mostly lined up as a lone running back during the preseason. There's potential to earn snaps and touches early on, as Kansas City has a weak group of running backs beyond Isiah Pacheco and could do some shuffling in the coming days to fill the other backup spots.
