Reshard

Langford

It’s Moore’s most productive game since sustained a foot/ankle injury in Week 11. He ran right past Reshard Langford for a 61-yard scoring bomb from Carson Palmer in the second quarter, his fifth touchdown of the year. Moore also made a diving catch to convert a big third down in the second half. With Palmer willing to chuck it deep at any time, Moore is trending up heading into next week’s season finale against the Chargers.

Langford, a 2009 undrafted free agent, was released at final cuts earlier this month. The physical safety is back as depth now with Eric Berry (knee) officially placed on IR Wednesday.

Langford, 26, was Kansas City’s fourth safety last season, contributing 11 tackles on defense and four on special teams. He’d need to be a more effective gunner to last in the pros. Langford’s K.C. run is over after three years.

Langford will give the Lions secondary depth with Louis Delmas (knee surgery) sidelined, and Amari Spievey missing Friday’s preseason game. Korey Bosworth was released in a corresponding move.

The Chiefs’ fourth safety in 2011, Langford notched 11 tackles in 11 games. He made two starts. He’ll look to latch on elsewhere as a special teamer.

Langford went undrafted out of Vanderbilt in 2009. While coach Todd Haley professes to be high on the 24-year-old, he’ll be overtaken by No. 5 overall pick Eric Berry in short order. Langford will have to cover kicks well to stick.

That didn’t take long, unsurprisingly. Langford will have to stand out on special teams just to make the 53-man roster. Berry, the No. 5 overall pick, is a strong bet to lead all rookie defensive backs in tackles this season.

Langford is buried behind rookie Eric Berry and Donald Washington on Kansas City’s depth chart, and has registered three tackles in two games played thus far in 2010.

The reserve secondary player has seen time in 12 games this season, starting two. Reshard Langford - a rookie from Vanderbilt - could be active behind starting FS Eric Berry.
