All Chiefs Players Are Practicing Today

Good news out of One Arrowhead Drive.  All 53 players on the Kansas City Chiefs active roster and eight on the practice squad are healthy and practicing today.

These updates are coming from Bob Gretz and Josh Looney.

Last week, the club placed two players on the injury report.

LB Derrick Johnson suffered a groin injury but played in the game.  Indications from Todd Haley are that he wasn't completely healthy, which helps explain part of the reason he only got in ten plays.  He was listed on the injury report last week as probably.

WR Dwayne Bowe missed the game against the Philadelphia Eagles with a hamstring injury.  He made it to the practice field by last Friday and played in the game Sunday against the New York Giants.  He was also listed on the injury report last week and reports indicated that he was healing as the week went on.

LB Corey Mays injured his leg during last week's game against the Giants.  He came out and was replaced by Jovan Belcher.  He was out on the field practicing today.

Josh Looney reports the Chiefs started off practice old-school style by pushing seven man sleds.  He also has some information on the uniforms the team will wear this weekend in honor of the AFL's 50th anniversary.

"Also, Kansas City has replaced their white face masks with gray face masks in preparation for wearing their 1962 Dallas Texans uniforms this weekend," Looney says. "The Arrowheads still remain as decals though. The switch of decals from the Chiefs logo to the Texans logo is expected to occur on Friday."

Maybe coincidence...

but is the fact that we have no significant injuries linked to the dramatically improved conditioning brought in by Haley and crew? Undoubtedly it helps at some level.

You know ...

I really wish people would quit talking about this sort of thing.

Last time someone did, Cassel and Carr (or was it Flowers) and someone else all went down with injuries in the very next game.

Do you people not understand not jinxing your team with bringing crap like this up?

Good point. But it ain't just about the conditioning.

It’s about backing-off on some of the running, and basically not wearing people down out of a desperate need to win. That always backfires in the long run. Just ask any of the big men who played for Marty.

No question. Otis Taylor should be in the Hall of Fame.

This IS fairly rare around the league.

It suggests that Haley’s on to something.

Nice

I seem to remember injuries being so bad last year that we had to sign QB Quinn Gray and LB Rocky Boiman Before week 5. I also seem to remember signing about 10 kickers. Granted, the only thing injured on them were their prides.

If nothing else, it’s good to see that injuries are being eliminated (knock on wood). Club Herm was so detrimental to this team.

About the Chiefs: I'd rather be a realist than a pessimist
