— -- Kansas City Chiefs running back Spencer Ware was carted off the field in the first quarter of Friday night's preseason game against the Seattle Seahawks with what the team later called a right knee injury.

Ware did not return in the game, a 26-13 Seahawks victory.?

The team's top rusher a year ago was tackled after catching a short pass. He was holding his right knee before being taken from the field.

The Chiefs have some depth at running back with rookie Kareem Hunt, a third-round draft pick, as well as veterans Charcandrick West and C.J. Spiller.

The 229-pound Ware, the Chiefs' biggest and most physical runner, led the team with 921 rushing yards last season.
