ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (AP) The Kansas City Chiefs signed left tackle Eric Fisher to a contract extension Saturday, the first day that veterans joined rookies on the practice field at Missouri Western for training camp.

Terms of the extension were not disclosed.

Fisher was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2013 draft out of Central Michigan, but he struggled to adjust to the NFL his first couple of years. He finally came into his own last season, showcasing the talent that the Chiefs hope can make him their left tackle for the foreseeable future.

The Chiefs exercised their fifth-year option on him in May, which would have meant Fisher would make $11.9 million next season. He has started 43 of the 46 games he has played in Kansas City.
