Chiefs RT Eric Fisher (shoulder) is not expected to play Sunday against the Chargers.

Fisher hurt his shoulder last week against the Broncos. Coach Andy Reid doesn't believe the injury is a long-term concern. Donald Stephenson will get the start at right tackle in Week 12. Fisher, the No. 1 overall pick in April's draft, has struggled mightily, giving up six sacks and 27 hurries in nine starts. Pro Football Focus grades him out as its No. 72 overall tackle.

Chiefs RT Eric Fisher suffered a shoulder injury in Week 11 against the Broncos.

He's been ruled out for the game. It's possible the Chiefs are just holding him out for precautionary reasons, but Fisher dealt with a shoulder issue earlier this season. His status will be updated no later than Wednesday.

Chiefs RT Eric Fisher (concussion) has been ruled out for Week 5.

Fisher has struggled early in his rookie year along with the rest of the high-draft-pick tackles, but his absence is somewhat concerning against the blitz-heavy Titans. The Chiefs will turn to Donald Stephenson at right tackle.

Chiefs RT Eric Fisher sustained a concussion during Sunday's Week 4 win over the Giants.

Fisher, the No. 1 overall pick in this year's draft, left in the first half and was replaced by Donald Stephenson. The Chiefs didn't miss Fisher, outscoring the Giants 21-0 in the second half.

A source tells FOX Sports that Eric Fisher's biggest issues so far have been mental.

Fisher, the No. 1 overall pick, has been one of the league's worst right tackles so far. Through three games, he's given up two sacks and seven quarterback hurries, grading out negatively as both a pass and run blocker. The Chiefs insist his issues stem from moving from the left tackle spot he played at Central Michigan to the right side he's playing now. We suspect it's more about simple adjustment to the speed of the NFL. Fisher is a lock to improve.

Chiefs signed No. 1 overall pick RT Eric Fisher to a four-year contract.

The deal is expected to include offset language and a signing bonus in the range of $14.5 million. With Fisher under contract, Jonathan Cooper, Dee Milliner and Chance Warmack are the only top-ten picks that have yet to sign.

Eric Fisher - T - Chiefs

Chiefs selected Central Michigan LT Eric Fisher with the No. 1 overall pick.

Fisher (6-foot-7 1/4, 306) made 34 career starts for the Chippewas, including 28 at left tackle. With superior size, length (34 1/2" arms), and athleticism to Luke Joeckel, the Chiefs determined Fisher -- despite his smaller-school background -- was this year's premier left tackle prospect. At the Combine, Fisher ran 5.05 with a 1.70 ten-yard split, pumped 27 reps on the bench, and scored 23 on the Wonderlic. He'll protect Alex Smith's blindside as a rookie. Look for Branden Albert to be traded Friday, probably to the Dolphins.

CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora reports the Chiefs have not informed Central Michigan LT Eric Fisher that he will be the top pick, but they intend to take him.

La Canfora adds there is a "slight chance" of a trade, but the evidence is overwhelming at this point that Fisher is the guy. The highest a MAC player has ever been drafted is Byron Leftwich at No. 7 overall to the Jaguars in 2003. Fisher will best that on Thursday night. He's a lock to be selected in the top five.

A source with knowledge of the team's plans tells Profootballtalk the Chiefs will select Central Michigan LT Eric Fisher with the No. 1 pick.

This report mercifully avoids the semantics of who's been "informed" of what. There will undoubtedly be more conflicting reports between now and when Commissioner Roger Goodell steps to the podium to announce Kansas City's pick, but the evidence that Fisher will go ahead of Texas A&M's Luke Joeckel has become overwhelming.

Eric Fisher - T - Chiefs

ESPN's Ed Werder confirms there's "a growing sense" the Chiefs will select Central Michigan LT Eric Fisher at No. 1 overall.

Kansas City hasn't stopped fielding calls for the draft's top selection, but it's likely to be Fisher if they stand pat. And stand pat we expect them to do with a Branden Albert-to-Miami trade in the works. The Dolphins deal doesn't necessarily have to be completed until Friday, because the sides are discussing second-round picks. Only the first round will take place Thursday night.

FOX Sports' Jay Glazer predicts the Chiefs will draft Central Michigan LT Eric Fisher with the No. 1 overall pick.

Glazer is very arguably the most plugged-in, accurate NFL reporter, so his prediction is certainly noteworthy. We've been doing this a long time and truly cannot ever remember him being wrong. Glazer acknowledges "most believe" Kansas City will draft Texas A&M's Luke Joeckel, but expects the Chiefs to lean toward Fisher's "nastiness" in the run game over Joeckel's pass-blocking savvy.

Eric Fisher - T - Chiefs

CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora is "hearing" the Chiefs will likely select Central Michigan LT Eric Fisher with the No. 1 pick if they can't deal disgruntled LT Branden Albert before the draft.

The reasoning is vague, but the Chiefs apparently believe Fisher would be better suited to the "power game" at right tackle than Texas A&M's Luke Joeckel if they kept Albert on the blindside. La Canfora had previously been adamant that Joeckel would be the Chiefs' pick. Unusual for a team picking No. 1 overall, the Chiefs have yet to be overwhelmingly connected to one player. There's still plenty of time for Albert to be traded before Thursday evening.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the "feeling is" OTs Luke Joeckel and Eric Fisher will be the first two players off the board on Thursday.

In other words, no surprises. Kansas City has long been open to trading the No. 1 pick, but Jacksonville appears ready to stay put at No. 2. It's entirely unclear what the Raiders have planned at No. 3. Al Davis would be proud.
