Saturday's Kansas City Chiefs Training Camp Practice Coverage

by Chris Thorman on Jul 30, 2011 2:41 PM CDT in Kansas City Chiefs Training Camp 2011

The Kansas City Chiefs are taking the field this afternoon at 3 p.m. (CT) for their first practice of the weekend. They do so with, by my count, 75 players on the roster.

Yesterday afternoon, after Brad Cottam was released, the Chiefs had 63 players on the roster. As you may have read here, the Kansas City Chiefs signed ten players last night and two this morning. That should bring the roster count to 75 of the 90 player maximum the Chiefs are allowed during training camp. The team does not have to sign 90 players. That's simply their limit.

In case you haven't read it yet, make sure you check out AP reader whoadog's recap of yesterday's practice. It's very detailed and something we'd like to have everyday on the site if possible. I know lots of you are in St. Joe checking out camp. Come back to AP when you're done and write up your thoughts.

Joel is at Missouri Western State's campus this afternoon as well to take in the Chiefs training camp practice.

He'll be tweeting out updates and I've embedded his feed below.

Here are his latest updates:

Joel will be back later with more updates on practice. Stay tuned.

A little unsettled...

if McCluster ends up being a RB only. If he is, that was a waste of a pick.

by polodude017 on Jul 30, 2011 3:18 PM CDT reply actions

I'm sure he'll also continue to do returns.

That said, the jury is out on the value of where he was picked.

I wanted Jacoby Ford.

I also wanted Perrish Cox instead of Arenas…. You can’t be right all the time, makes other people feel bad.

depends how productive he is as a HB. if hes able to become our kevin faulk, I have to say thats worth a 2

but that means a long term 3rd down back who doesnt get hurt too often and is reliable…we will see

and there you go

I like that now we dont have to force him either way. we can use him at both spots and sneak him in there as teams try and stop breaston and baldwin(in addition to our offense from last year)

Yeah, I still think his primary position will be OW.

Though he’ll almost certainly see more time as a RB this season.

Well...

with Charles possibly being our most important player its nice to know we have another speedy back on the team if god forbid, Charles goes down with an injury.

by I_Bleed_Red. on Jul 30, 2011 3:40 PM CDT up reply actions

totally agree. obviously hes not charles, but in a way we wont skip a beat in that we wouldnt have to really change what we do

and its also nice to know that we have charles locked up long term as guys like CJ hold out

I think he'll be used all over the place.

HB, WR, Slot Receiver, and Kick Returner. We’ll see plenty of McCluster magic this year.

by MasterChief on Jul 30, 2011 4:48 PM CDT up reply actions

if McCluster ends up being a RB only. If he is, that was a waste of a pick.

Well that would depend on his quality as a RB. If he ends up being a GOOD change-of-pace back and 3rd down back like Sproles, I think that is worth a second round pick.

If he

An option?

by Nick Britt on Jul 30, 2011 3:25 PM CDT reply actions

if we ran a 4-3, id be stoked and would want to try and turn around his career

he should go to detroit and play behind fairley and suh. hes a good player, he just needs to concentrate on football

I liked him coming out of college

Not sure if he’d be a fit here. Probably a DE if he did, but I’m certainly no expert.

FA doesnt worry me, I think we may sign a name or two for cheap and im content with that if we give deals to our own

but I AM worried…very very worried…about justin houston

I really fear we have ourselves some sort of sergio kindle situation where something weird happened, it could be an illness, it could be anything. of course maybe he just hasnt signed…but as the days go by, I fear there is a reason we won’t like having to do with why he hasnt signed

It is a little strange considering everyone else is done

Hopefully he’s signed soon.

it's just that silly contract clause about the medical marijuana that's slowing the process down ...

Word was he was going to

But John Clayton reported an hour ago on Twitter that they resigned Khalif Barnes and have stopped their pursuit of Gaither. Other reports suggest Gaither didn’t pass physical.
