Chiefs Training Camp: Brian Waters Has 'No Idea' If He'll Play Against Falcons

PrintThe Kansas City Chiefs open their 2010 preseason schedule Friday night in Atlanta against the Falcons. It'll be a good test to see who can do what in a game setting.
It's good news that Brian Waters returned to practice on Monday. He hadn't participated in camp because of some sort of ankle/foot injury.
"It was part of the plan," Waters said when asked why he returned today (audio via 610Sports.com). "It was just a test today and we're going to continue to go and go and improve and do more. At least that's the plan right now."
Waters said he didn't want to put any percentages on his health right now and said he had has "no idea" if he'll play Friday against the Falcons.
It was good timing for him to return. Not only is it game week but the Chiefs were also missing Waters' backup, Darryl Harris, after he suffered an injury during practice last Friday.
"It's one of the worst things watching your teammates work hard and be tired," Waters said. "Feeling like you haven't put in an honest day's work isn't the best feeling."
Waters seemed a little out of breath speaking to reporters so it sounds like he got that honest day's work in.

This is off topic, but you might like to hear...
This is a quote from Josh McDaniels talking about the new 1st round WR Thomas (who just injured his foot….again):
“He’s 6-3, 228 pounds, you know? And he can run,” McDaniels said. “Those kinds of plays are rare to make in this league, and if you’re fortunate enough to have a player that can do some of those things, I think it makes your football team better.”
My first thought… Ummm, genius, didn’t you just dump that exact kind of player in Marshall?
josh McDaniels is a jeanious

Difference is that Thomas doesn't have a HUGE ego.... yet.
But Josh is getting WAAAAAY ahead of himself here.
So you got the fax. So why didn't you add it to the resume? What do you mean? Of course martial arts training is relevant.
Yeah.
But wait until Thomas realizes “He’s the man”. Then we’ll see where the ego is?
ie…Vincent Jackson…Brandon Marshall…

Like it matters if he plays. Sure it would be nice to get some game reps in with the other guys but it will only be for 2 series at a maximum.

True. Just rest the guy.

Yeah, is it really worth risking further injury to the anchor of our o-line just to see him play in a preseason game?
My answer: NO.
I can wait till he is healthy.

Veteran sitting out...
No story here. No reason to burn him out.
What's the difference between jelly and jam?
Not sure if you've ever messed up an ankle before
But running for a conditioning test and bracing / planting to block a 300lb pass rusher are two very different types of stress to put on an injured ankle.
Chiefs - back in the playoffs in 2011.
Why isnt Asamoah getting reps there?
That should be his spot eventually right? Or center? What’s the latest on him?

From an earlier AP Post -
Jon Asamoah meanwhile appears to be a player for the future and not 2010. The Chiefs were down to their third string left guard and it wasn’t Asamoah so we’re not sure how much time he’ll see absent an injury.
I roughly translate that as, the guy isn’t very good yet and they don’t want Cassel on IR.

How is Cassel going to get hurt at practice?
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.

Maybe the front office knows....
Waters plans to retire next year…Moving Lilja back over to LG and Asamoah to RG

I dont know if they expect him to retire
but I could see them for once having a little smarts along the line and trying to set us up for success. Who knows, they may not even keep Waters after this year…?
This is our year.
Might not even be this year
Or just added insurance if he goes down….maybe his injury is worse than we know and they wonder if he will return to form. Either way seems like good insurance. Ryan Lilja is only 29 which isn’t that old for a NFL guard. If he performs I image he is a starter on our line for the next 3-5 years

It appears the media is coming around?
Havent played a game yet and here they come. I was kind of hoping to fly under the radar.

Watched the video in that link too....
Why do I want to punch Gretz in the face?
What's the difference between jelly and jam?
When was the last full off season Waters has participated in team activities?
If its just a whining Vet or a legitimate injury reason, we need to be looking to replace him next year. He knows what to do and is a pro as well as a good guy, so I am not worried about him being prepared for the season, but something stinks about his off seasons.
