Chiefs Update 11/11
From Arrowhead Stadium
Chiefs head coach Herm Edwards held his weekly press conference on Tuesday afternoon and easily could have used half of his alotted time talking about injuries.
No roster moves were announced by the team, but they did have a number of players in for workouts today. Expect at least one, maybe two moves on Wednesday when the Chiefs return to work.
Edwards did have an update on the injury report. Here’s how it breaks down as of Tuesday afternoon and the players status for this weekend against New Orleans:
- DE Brian Johnston is out with a calf injury. He’s a candidate for the Injured Reserve List.
- DE Tamba Hali questionable with an ankle injury.
- LB Derrick Johnson is out with his sore hamstring.
- CB Pat Surtain is questionable with his quad injury.
- LB Pat Thomas out with a hamstring injury.
- RG Adrian Jones is out with a right ankle injury.
- CB Brandon Flowers is questionable with a hamstring.
- S DaJuan Morgan is questionable with a hamstring.
- DE Turk McBride is questionable with a shoulder injury. He could also be a candidate for the IR list.
- RB Jamaal Charles is questionable with his sprained ankle.
The Chiefs have requested a roster exemption for RB Larry Johnson, returning from his NFL suspension. Generally the Commissioner provides exemptions similar to the length of time the player was out of action. Whether the Chiefs will receive the full week or just a few days they’ll know by Wednesday.
Jones, Johnston, Flowers and Charles hurts the most – that is a ridiculous list of injured!!

It’s a Morton Salt season for the Chiefs:
“When it rains, it pours” (A famous slogan from years past for all you young guns)
Looks like Jason Babin might sign. He is a DE former 1st rd pick.

Babin played 16 games in his rookie season for Houston. He gained 63 tackles and 4 sacks for a mediocre rookie season. In 2005, he only played in 12 games, and only got 35 tackles. However, he matched his 2004 sack mark with four, and also forced two fumbles. In 2006, he played 15 games, getting 26 tackles and a career high five sacks.
Bob , if you see Gunther , ask him if Brad & Mike or either one could possiblty help on DEF . Sunday ,or least what Herm thinks , they will be sitting there the whole game — one sack would , what ? Or tipped pass .
“that is a ridiculous list of injured!!”
- thanks for the studied insight J…that was wonderful
heh heh heh

Thanks for your invaluable input as well Rin.

Thanks for the info on Babin. I’d actually rather see them sign Babin than my favorite free agent KGB. Babin fits in more with the youth movement and he definitely has talent. Maybe he can come here and put it all together.
This sucks! I can live w/being out a couple weeks but the IR’s are killing us!
These guys need to be developing NOW, 5 outta the 6 on IR are guys that imo are at positions that we need to improve at, along w/the 2 that are possibly going to be added McBride sounds like a shoulder separation (lets hope, that shouldn’t put him on IR) or collar bone and Johnston (if he tore a calf muscle he IS done for the season)
If herm decides to play LJ, he should let Charles sit. If at all possible I’d like to see them sit the 4 guys w/hamstrings too.
Man! this is almost unbelievable!
PS I hope we don’t lose Jone either for any substantial amount of time.
But if any of you looked at the photo that I posted about yesterday….well lets just say it looked NASTY!!
And thanks too for your cheesy ‘athletic support’ colby…
heh heh heh
These are mostly leg injuries . In masonry work you can not wear gloves , or your hands will not stay tough enough to work . My dad a medical surgion in the Army back in the 1930s ( 7th Calavery ) New recurits that got saddle sores were ordered to simpely ride them off . In football theres a lot of non-high level cond. time in off season . Everones different , Thats wy I think some guys are different –like Tony G. Brian Uralacker ,Ray Lewis —sure they get hert but not weekly . Ive had guys that are extra tough , and I dont know why, that list goes on and on . I dont mean to hint that in time , that someone can remain injury free, in what we did ,I alway told new help that part of it , is cuts and brusies .
Bob,
Why was Dimitri Patterson cut? It wasn’t for one pass coverage play. I remember Herm saying he had about the “best natural skill set” for a corner. Why has he not been brought back?

‘That’ is a very good question indeed. Rin Tin Tin searched the internet & this is all that I discovered (see link below) – it’s probably of little help – I’m certainly not interested, my terest more “does Peggy Lipton have one to the opposite gender.”
