Kansas City Chiefs rule out DE Frank Clark, optimistic DE Chris Jones will play


Kansas City Chiefs starting defensive end Frank Clark is out for Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers with a hamstring injury, sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Clark strained his hamstring in practice on Thursday and was listed as doubtful to play. Coach Andy Reid said it was a separate hamstring injury from the one that kept Clark out for Kansas City’s regular-season opener.

The Chiefs are optimistic that defensive end Chris Jones, 27, will play Sunday, sources said. Jones was listed as questionable with a wrist injury he suffered in last week’s loss to the Baltimore Ravens.

Clark, 28, played 70% of the Chiefs’ snaps on defense last week and recorded two tackles.
