"For me, I obviously want my doctors and trainers to know my history," Smith said. "I can't always verbalize that to them. We're not doctors as players, and we know our injuries to a certain extent.

As NFL Camps Approach, Broncos' AFC West Rivals Face Uphill Chase from The Denver Post

In the Chiefs, NFL personnel people see the team with the most potential to chase Denver if they live a charmed life in Andy Reid's first season as Kansas City's head coach.That starts with Reid finding a way to repair the league's worst passing offense in 2012 (169.6 yards passing per game) around their biggest offseason acquisition in quarterback Alex Smith.
