When Chiefs star running back Jamaal Charles went down with a torn ACL, it seemingly opened the door for Knile Davis.
However, the former Arkansas running back had only two carries for two yards in the Chiefs’ 18-17 loss to the Bears, continuing a recent trend.
Since Davis scored a go-ahead touchdown late in the Chiefs’ Week 2 loss to the Broncos, he has taken a backseat to Charcandrick West.
Davis didn’t get any snaps on offense in Week 3 or Week 4. Also, he didn’t return any kickoffs in the loss to the Bears.
For the season, Davis has 11 carries for 27 yards (2.5 yards/carry) and one touchdown, one reception for 12 yards and nine kickoff returns for 232 yards.
Here is a look at how the other 12 former Arkansas players on NFL 53-man rosters did in Week 5.
