The Kansas City Chiefs announced on Wednesday that the club has placed tight end Martin Rucker on injured reserve.

Rucker (6-5, 251) played in 12 games (two starts) with the Cleveland Browns (2008), Dallas Cowboys (2010-11) and Jacksonville Jaguars (2011). He has recorded two receptions for 17 yards (8.5 avg.).

The St. Joseph native was selected in the fourth round (111th overall) of the 2008 NFL Draft by the Browns while Chiefs Head Coach Romeo Crennel held the same position in Cleveland. Rucker joined the Chiefs as a free agent this offseason.
