Inactives: Page, Albert Out for the Chiefs

by Joel Thorman on Oct 18, 2009 10:39 AM CDT in 2009 Kansas City Chiefs Campaign

Two major inactives today for the Kansas City Chiefs: Branden Albert and Jarrad Page. We already knew about Albert's absence since he didn't make the flight to to FedEx Field with the team.

Page has some sort of shoulder injury. He has been listed on the injury report every day this week and was healthy enough to participate in practice on Friday.

It appears Jon McGraw will start in his place.

Other inactives:

WR Quinten Lawrence

TE Brad Cottam

TE Jake O'Connell

LB Pierre Walters

CB Donald Washington

QB Matt Gutierrez (3rd QB)

Page's injury could have a domino effect. McGraw generally plays quite a bit of special teams so it's possible he'll see less time there if he's also starting on defense. If that's the case, then someone will get a chance to see some time on special teams.

Wade has had a huge im[pact on our active WR's

Do you think he would clear waivers and make it to the practice squad?

Oh boy, I can see it now

Jon McGraw has a great game and Haley keeps him as the starter ( a la DJ and Williams) causing many at AP to literally have an aneurysm right there at their computers.

It's a good thing Pioli and Haley aren't running AP or a lot of you guys would of been traded or cut for cast offs from the Pats Pulpit.

Anything to bring up

sacking groceries is okay with me.

Morgan will see some time

That’s who I’ll be watching

Well lets see how this goes with Albert out

Wash is #3 pass D in the NFL. I didn’t think they were this high, but ESPN2’s fantasy team reported it, and I believe them more than the tools on the regular station.

Yeah they are ranked that high

22nd against the rush though.

well I hope we can get more than 1.2 yards per rush this week then

by Ren on Oct 18, 2009 10:56 AM CDT up reply actions

I heard that too

but the talent of the teams they’ve faced and the fact that they’ve been in some low scoring games makes it hard to judge if they are really that good. Eli went for 256 and Stafford 241 in their wins.

It's a good thing Pioli and Haley aren't running AP or a lot of you guys would of been traded or cut for cast offs from the Pats Pulpit.
