Three Chiefs Players Miss Morning Practice

by Joel Thorman on Aug 15, 2011 1:15 PM CDT in Kansas City Chiefs Training Camp 2011

The Kansas City Chiefs conducted their morning walk-through inside and it appears they'll probably be doing the same for this afternoon's practice.

I wasn't out at practice this morning but Bob Gretz writes on CBS Sports' Rapid Reports that three Chiefs weren't participating in practice -- NT Anthony Toribio (knee) and LB Eric Bakhtiari (head) weren't at practice at all and DL Amon Gordon was present but not participating.

We're not really sure what the situation is with any of these guys. Sometimes they return quickly and sometimes it's a more serious injury. We hope for the former.

Overall, the Chiefs are once again going through training camp relatively healthy. DE Glenn Dorsey and WR Jonathan Baldwin are the only injuries of significance that I remember and both only missed a few days.

Hope Bakhtiari's not too hurt

I was impressed by him Friday. Hoping to see if he can keep it up.

He seemed able to apply pressure well

Bleed Chiefs

someone who was at yesterday's practice

said he got rocked hard by O’Connell and was woozy and fell down. Yeah, hope he’s ok too.

CHIEFS DYNASTY – we’re kind of a big deal

Bakhtari good at applying pressure

Maybe he can apply some pressure to the open wounds the Chief’s appear to have after Friday night’s disaster.

If Haley is serious about what he said regarding us not being ready into the season

Then I am beginning to question this tactic. The Bucs were ready for football already. The Chargers, Raiders, and Broncos all looked ready, despite their losses. We were the only team that didn’t. You all know I was on board the other day, but that statement from Haley is ridiculous.

What makes you think TB were ready for football already?

I seem to remember Thomas Jones averaging 12.5 yards per carry against their starters. That’s well above his career average and his average last season.

All I could tell from Buccaneers’ performance was that, if they are able to play their starters against 3rd string players and practice squads in every game this season, they’ll dominate. I suspect, however, that TB will have to face some first string players at some point this year, and, as of yet, we have no indication of how well or poorly they will perform when that happens.

Let’s wait until the Chief’s play in a game that they’re actually trying to win before we draw too many conclusions.
