Chiefs Add Two To The Practice Squad
The Kansas City Chiefs have added a couple of players to the practice squad today -- OL Rob Bruggeman and WR Zeke Markshausen.
Markshausen should sound familiar because, well, you really don't forget a name like that, but also because he went to training camp with the Chiefs this year. He made it to the final cut down with the team. He's listed at 5'11" and 185 pounds.
Interesting timing because Markshausen went to training camp with the Bears in 2010.
Bruggeman could be familiar if you've been paying attention. The Chiefs worked him out earlier this year in September (but didn't sign him). He's listed at 6'4" and 286 pounds as a center and originally entered the league as an undrafted free agent with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He played at Iowa under Kirk Ferentz.
The Chiefs had a couple of open spots on the practice squad from Jeremy Horne moving to the active roster upon Matt Cassel's trip to IR and David Mims movin' on up after Jared Gaither was released on Tuesday.
Along with Bruggeman and Markshausen, the Chiefs practice squad is made up of LB Caleb Campbell, RB Shaun Draughn, G Darryl Harris, DB Quinten Lawrence, DL Luke Patterson and DT Anthony Toribio.

Funny
I thought the same thing when I saw the list of practice squad folks. I’d honestly forgotten that we’d retained him on the practice squad…
I can't believe Quinton Lawrence is still hanging around.
Do we have him on a 6-year development plan?
Ancora imparo.

Kind of like Carl Peterson's 5 year SB plan.

Markshausen
Wasn’t he the guy that had the “best workout we’ve ever seen”?
If so, I hope he finds a way to make an impact. Always like underdog stories.
some decent potential in that squad
Campbell, Draughn, Lawrence, Harris, and now maybe Bruggeman could all have an outside shot of making the 53 someday
I like Markshausen
Mostly because of the name. It’s just kind of fun to say, Markshausen!
Also, didn’t he do pretty decent in the pre-season?
Insert witty yet thought provoking phrase here.
Maybe they will use him and Marinera to run double TE formation
that way Pope won’t get called for holding and Becht won’t tackle the RB
Men succeed when they realize that their failures are the preparation for their victories.
why is darryl harris not on the active?
Dude has looked solid in camp and preseason…We have no depth on the interior line and he is just sitting on the practice squad???
well, Lilja was practicing w the 1st team again
So, Hudson has the depth covered for now

Why are our players' names gettin more and more complicated?
Is it after playing The Gronk Pioli thinks that’s the secret to his success?
I love my wife, my kids, and the Chiefs. In that order. Except on game days.
