According to Kansas City 610 AM radio personality Nick Wright, Chiefs rookie sensation Dexter McCluster has a high ankle sprain and could be out multiple weeks.

McCluster was injured last Sunday against the Jaguars. The timing was extra unfortunate considering his role as a running back was expanding in that game (he had four carries for 28 yards coming out of the backfield; he had just seven rushing attempts in the previous five games).

With McCluster on the mend, the Chiefs will have to find a new source of electricity in the slot. McCluster has just 15 receptions for 149 yards in six games this season, though every catch has seemingly brought some form of momentum swing.

The Chiefs can fill McCluster’s void in the return game with Javier Arenas, but like the Saints without Reggie Bush, they’ll miss the decoy value and versatility he brings to the offense.
