Houston could miss several weeks after hurting his hamstring in Sunday’s win over Jacksonville, and Ford has dealt with a series of minor injuries this season. Their backup, Tanoh Kpassagnon, also has missed time with a hurt ankle. The Chiefs also signed Frank Zombo when they put offensive guard Laurent Duvernay-Tardif and safety Armani Watts on injured reserve Tuesday. The 25-year-old Orchard was a second-round pick of the Browns in the 2015 draft. He spent three seasons with them before briefly joining Buffalo earlier this year.
