Chiefs FS Kendrick Lewis is undergoing an MRI on his shoulder.

The Chiefs never announced an injury in Sunday's loss to the Broncos, but Lewis played just 38-of-64 snaps. He missed Kansas City's first five games of the season with a shoulder issue. Abram Elam would be returned to the starting lineup if Lewis misses time.

Kendrick Lewis - DB - Chiefs

Chiefs FS Kendrick Lewis (shoulder) expects to return to game action Sunday for the first time this season.

Lewis still has to get the green light from coach Romeo Crennel, but he expects to start at Tampa. Although fill-in Abram Elam may be better in run support, he doesn't have Lewis' range in coverage.

Kendrick Lewis - DB - Chiefs

Chiefs FS Kendrick Lewis will miss "a bit of time," according to coach Romeo Crennel, after injuring his right shoulder in Kansas City's second preseason game.

It's the same shoulder/pectoral area that required Lewis to undergo January surgery, and his arm was in a sling after the game. "It's a different injury," Crennel assured. "He has to have no surgery or anything like that, but he has to rest that shoulder and immobilize it a little bit before we can start movement."

Kendrick Lewis - DB - Chiefs

Chiefs FS Kendrick Lewis' January surgery was actually to repair a torn pectoral, and he's unsure if he'll be ready for training camp.

It was originally reported that Lewis had undergone shoulder surgery. "Whenever the trainers say it’s cool for me," Lewis said when asked when he might return. "I’m just playing it by ear. ... Everything is going smooth, according to plan." Per beat writer Adam Teicher, Lewis is getting around well at OTAs, and it "doesn’t appear that his absence will be a prolonged one." With Eric Berry (ACL surgery) and fifth-round rookie De'Quan Menzie (hamstring) also sidelined, CB Travis Daniels and undrafted rookie Terrance Parks are running as the Chiefs' first-team safeties. It's notable that Donald Washington is not.

Kendrick Lewis - DB - Chiefs

Chiefs FS Kendrick Lewis was forced from Sunday's game against the Bears with a right knee injury, and is questionable to return.

Lewis went down late in the first half, and was absent for Kansas City's first defensive series of the second. Despite the questionable designation, his afternoon is likely through. The Chiefs' best safety, a prolonged absence for Lewis would be bad news for a defense that's been playing inspired football the past few weeks.

Kendrick Lewis - DB - Chiefs

Chiefs FS Kendrick Lewis was able to play the entire game in Week 11 after missing two weeks with a hamstring injury.

The Chiefs are 6-1 in games Lewis has played. The rookie has just 22 tackles this season, but he's an upgrade in coverage over John McGraw.

Kendrick Lewis - DB - Chiefs

Adam Teicher of the Kansas City Star writes that rookie SS Kendrick Lewis remains on track to unseat veteran Jon McGraw.

Said defensive coordinator Romeo Crennel of his young secondary, "They have great attitudes. They run around and they try to make things happen." The Chiefs' secondary got a youth infusion this offseason, and McGraw doesn't have the skill set to hold off the more talented and hungry Lewis.

Kendrick Lewis - DB - Chiefs

Chiefs signed fifth-round S Kendrick Lewis to a multi-year contract.

With Jarrad Page unsigned and firmly on the trade block, Lewis spent the offseason rotating first-team snaps with veteran Jon McGraw. A physical run defender with more range than McGraw, Lewis could open the season as the starting free safety opposite Eric Berry.

Kendrick Lewis - DB - Chiefs

Chiefs fifth-round pick Kendrick Lewis is running with the first-team defense at OTAs.

Lewis, a pure "box" safety, was presumably on the strong side with Eric Berry at free safety. Ideally, Berry will win the strong position once free safety Jarrad Page returns to workouts. Lewis would then focus on covering kicks.

Kendrick Lewis - DB - Chiefs

Chiefs selected Ole Miss S Kendrick Lewis with the No. 136 overall pick in the 2010 draft.

A three-year starter with the Rebels, Lewis led the team in tackles as a senior. On the small side at 6-foot and 198, he still plays physically against the run and isn't afraid to lay the wood on receivers. Lewis, though, ran a 4.72 forty at February's Combine. He'll start out on special teams.
