From IR candidate to possibly playing this weekend - Turk McBride.
If their latest injury report can be believed, the Chiefs will have one of their starting defensive ends available for Sunday’s game against New Orleans at Arrowhead Stadium. The Chiefs removed Turk McBride, who has a sore shoulder and didn’t play last week in San Diego, from their injury list.
Of course, the information might not be airtight. Last Thursday, the Chiefs removed cornerback Brandon Flowers from their injury report only to list him again on Friday. He didn’t play against the Chargers.
If McBride does indeed play, it will make a big difference. Instead of McBride, the Kansas City Chiefs likely would have had to start a player who wasn't even on the team two weeks ago. Plus, Turk McBride is quietly having a solid year IMO, especially from the stand point of player development.

Great news
was happy when I read such at Bob’s. I assumed this has McBride starting at RE or Boone/Babin @ LE?

I believe so
It doesn’t look like Tamba Hali is ready to play yet.

Or vice versa
McBride @ LE & Boone @ RE

I'd like to see
McBride on the LE and Babin on the Right to see how Babin reacts to Brees’ blindside. He looks like a kid with a lot of talent that’s just been unlucky enough to play for the Texans and Seahawks without ever having an even decent supporting cast.
Give him a shot at RE and see how he responds, lord knows we desperately need a speed edge rusher to close down the pocket and make life easier on our horribly banged-up secondary.

Good to hear
the Boone experiment at DE (especially RDE like last week) helps us against the run, but something tells me the Saints won’t be running much.

probably a mistake
Herm probably just ran out of room on the injury report
