It looks like Leggett’s injury, reported to be a shoulder last Sunday, will not be one that heals on its own and will require surgery to repair.
The Chiefs still currently stand at 52 active players and there is speculation to which safety they will add to the roster, if any. A number of safeties reportedly tried out in Kansas City over the past month and Ricky Price is another option for promotion from the practice squad. The Chiefs have also shown no fear going to battle with just three safeties , which was prevalent when DaJuan Morgan was a healthy inactive in Oakland to weeks ago.

Part of that rationale could be the comfort with CB Travis Daniels potentially being an emergency safety. Daniels has limited experience at the position, but has appeared at safety sparingly over his five-year NFL career. Daniels served as the Chiefs primary nickel back last Sunday vs. Pittsburgh.

No matter the move that occurs, two of the three practices for this Sunday’s game are in the books. If the addition is from the outside, odds would be against that player playing this Sunday in San Diego.

I think it's gonna be Price or Williams

from the PS. They want someone who can contribute now, on the road against a very good division leader.

that's probably a safe bet

* "I doubt anyone will miss Connor Barth except UCrawford"
* the LB corps may become the biggest strength of the Chiefs in 2009
* The OL is NOT as bad as you think it is... give it time, and you'll see improvement this season
* Stats are for losers

OR, they could still claim someone

chances are, they’d just be inactive this week, at least

From the PS

Only Price and Williams would make sense to me, unless they like Bates more than Price.

It would be nice to see Favorite get a shot, but Smith played pretty well Sunday when Edwards went down and it seems like a waste to go into the game with three active NT.

They seem pretty set at DE right now, so Gales and Greenwood will have to wait for next year for their shot, barring injury.

I heard good things about Harris during preseason but of all the positions on the line, guard is the deepest so once again, next year.

It’d be nice to see Lawrence again, but the WR’s seem to be in decent shape right now. He’d likely end up the odd man out when Bowe gets back.

agreed

except I didn’t see much from Harris I liked

I don’t remember anything about him myself, but there were some on a site I visited that were surprised when he was cut because they thought so highly of him.
