The Kansas City Chiefs place Jackie Battle on I.R.
The Chiefs have placed 28-year old RB Jackie Battle on the Injured Reserve List, ending his season due to a foot injury. Battle played in 15 games (4 starts) for the Chiefs this year and he carried the ball 149 times for 597 yards (4.0 ypc) with 2 TD runs. He also caught 9 passes for 68 yards (7.6 avg) this year. Battle will likely end up as the Chiefs’ leading rusher this year, unless Dexter McCluster (455 rushing yards) or Thomas Jones (436 yards rushing) have a career day tomorrow against the Broncos. Battle has now played in 48 games (4 starts) in his first five years with the Chiefs and he has carried the ball 190 times for 715 yards (3.8 ypc) with 4 TD runs. He has also caught 14 passes for 76 yards (5.4 avg) in his NFL career so far.
