The Kansas City Chiefs placed offensive lineman Paul Fanaika on injured reserve and re-signed veteran linebacker Dezman Moses on Wednesday.

The moves come four days before Sunday’s season opener in Houston against the Texans.

Fanaika, who signed a three-year deal worth $8.1 million guaranteed in the offseason, spent time working with the first-string offensive line while other players were hurt, swapping between guard and tackle.

Fanaika, 29, apparently was injured at some point after the Chiefs made their final cuts to a 53-man roster Saturday, but the team has not revealed any details.

Moses, 26, is coming off a solid preseason in which he recorded five tackles and eight quarterback hurries. He was released Sunday to make room for tight end Brian Parker, who was claimed off waivers from the San Diego Chargers.
