Kansas City Chiefs head coach Romeo Crennel said last week that the state of the roster is "in pretty good shape" but that the Chiefs are a little light at the linebacker position.
"We're light, probably, at the linebacker position overall," Crennel said. "When you look at the guys on the team, we're probably heavy at the secondary and the wide receiver and we're light at the linebacker position. From a training camp perspective, you might try to add a wide receiver to add a little depth in case somebody goes down in training camp. Overall, the team is in pretty good shape."
Which leads us into the news portion of this post -- Brian Banks, exonerated of rape charges, will work out for the Chiefs this week. It sounds like the workout will take place on either Monday or Tuesday. The (other) AP reports:
Banks' agent, Bruce Tollner confirmed Sunday that after flying to Kansas City for a workout with the Chiefs, Banks will return to the Pacific Northwest and take part in the Seahawks' minicamp. The minicamp starts Tuesday, but Banks' first day will be Wednesday.
Currently, the Chiefs linebackers are: Jovan Belcher, Caleb Campbell, Cory Greenwood, Tamba Hali, Dexter Heyman, Justin Houston, Derrick Johnson, Gabe Miller, Cameron Sheffield, Brandon Siler, Andy Studebaker and Leon Williams.
