Kirk

Chambers

Chambers has 14 starts, mostly of the desperation variety, in 67 games since 2004. He hasn’t played a snap since the 2009 season, so the Falcons have to hope he’s not needed beyond depth purposes.

McKinney has started 11 games the past two years. He figures to take on a utility role in Buffalo, with Kirk Chambers remaining the favorite to start at right guard.

Chambers was just released over the weekend, but he’s being brought back after the team cut ties with Langston Walker. Chambers, who play both tackle positions as well as guard, will be insurance for young starter Demetrius Bell.

Chambers was injured just before the end of the half, and Jamon Meredith has come on to replace him. Meredith may well be an upgrade if he’s close to full health.

Murphy was a blocking specialist, and was actually moved inside to tackle last season, but suffered a season-ending tear to his calf muscle after one week. He’ll compete with Kirk Chambers for a job as the Bills’ third tackle, but the team should continue to add depth.

The 6-7 Stanford grad has yet to make a start in two seasons.

The Lions are desperate for tackle help as Jeff Backus (pectoral) and Gosder Cherilus (knee) are sidelined. Chambers is a veteran with experience but is a swing tackle at best. The Lions’ offensive line woes are a storyline to monitor.

Chambers has been a swing tackle the past couple of seasons, but there’s some thought that he could be an answer at starting left guard after Derrick Dockery’s release.

The 6-7 Chambers has a chance for a reserve spot in Buffalo.

The six-year veteran has 14 starts in 67 career games. His addition was made for depth purposes after Andre Smith went on I.R. Saturday night. The Bengals also added former Dolphins tackle Andrew Gardner to the practice squad.
