Who Should I Start? Carson Steele or Trent Pennix

Monday, January 6, 4:42 AM

Kansas City Chiefs running back Carson Steele handled eight carries for 25 yards and two catches for two yards in the 0-38 loss to the Denver Broncos. Steele was the clear lead back for the Chiefs, but he could not do much with his opportunities. The rookie out of UCLA stepped into the lead role with Isiah Pacheco and Kareem Hunt ruled out for this game. Steele averaged just 3.1 yards per carry, but no other Chief carried the ball multiple times in this contest. The next time the Chiefs suit up will be against the winner of the wild card matchup between the Los Angeles Chargers and Houston Texans. Steele will likely be relegated to his RB3 role when the Chiefs play their next game.

Indianapolis Colts running back Trent Pennix (groin) was forced to leave the team's game on Sunday due to a groin injury. The 24-year-old rookie didn't see much work in their preseason debut on Sunday against the Denver Broncos. In his limited snaps, Pennix caught his lone target for seven yards and didn't receive any work on the ground. The severity of the groin injury is unknown at this time, but he'll look to get back on the field this week and compete to stick on the roster a depth option in the backfield.
