Mansoor Delane: MRI on shoulder after Monday night exit

THE FACT. Chiefs rookie cornerback Mansoor Delane was set to undergo an MRI on his shoulder Tuesday, per NFL Media's Mike Garafolo, after he left Monday night's opener at Denver in the first half. X-rays came back negative and Kansas City is hoping the results show only a sprain. Delane intercepted a pass on the game's third play before getting hurt on the next Denver possession.

THE VERDICT. Stash him, do not drop him. Negative x-rays and a sprain diagnosis point to a short absence, and a first-round corner who picked off a pass on his third NFL snap will get every defensive snap Kansas City can give him once he is cleared. IDP: hold him on your bench this week and treat practice participation as the green light. Redraft: no action needed, he is not a factor in standard formats.
