The word is that most, but not all, of the Kansas City Chiefs passed their conditioning test this morning.The Red Zone fills us in on one player who didn't make it:
Defensive end Glenn Dorsey admitted Friday that he was among the handful of players who didn't pass the test.
"Close," he said after a long pause. "I've still got a ways to go."
In Dorsey's defense, he had ice taped to his left lower leg. It's ostensibly the same injury that kept Dorsey out of most offseason practices. Dorsey has enough work ahead that he can't afford a long absence from practices, which begin tomorrow. Haley has said players can't join team activities before passing the test.
We don't have a full list of who passed and who didn't but it seems like the test went well for most of the players. The conditioning test was closed to the media and you can bet that nobody from the team will leak that info.
Here are some updates on the test from the UW-RF site:
"Most guys made it," Cottam said. He said the team knew the test was coming, so they had been preparing for it and working hard in the off-season. Cottam said that the mentality of the team so far has been "exciting and new."
Running back Jamal Charles was pleased with how this morning's conditioning test went, commenting that everyone made time, and as a whole, the team looks to be in good shape.
More coming later today.

It's from
the movie Zoolander. If you haven’t seen it, you’ll have to watch to understand. Funny stuff though.
interesting
Head Coach Todd Haley discussed the Chiefs kicking competition during a press conference. He said that although the team picked up kicker Ryan Succop, the kicking competition has not been elmiminated. Haley said that Succop was drafted for a reason. “He’s strong, and the (kicking) area is important to us,” Haley said. “We have to crunch to try and figure out what to do and who we can afford to lose.” He also said that even kicker Connor Barth, who the Chiefs cut last week, is not out of the running. “Not only are these guys competing with each other,” he said, “but they’re also competing with every other player in every other training camp out there.” Haley said this competition is what training camp is for.
"I doubt anyone will miss Connor Barth except UCrawford"
He must have been reading AP
Braccae illae virides cum subucula rosea et tunica Caledonia-quam elenganter concinnatur!
another good sign
“I’ll tell you this,” Haley said, “No guys are real far off, and I feel good about that.”
So, pretty much… they’re in good shape
"I doubt anyone will miss Connor Barth except UCrawford"
why so negative?
so they are in great shape but missed the test by a small margin? We are talking about 300lb men here…
"exciting and new"
…so, training camp is like the Love Boat?
Run Run Pass Punt, repeat as needed for 60 min.
