Chiefs Update 12/10
From the Truman Sports Complex
The Chiefs pushed through a just under two-hour practice indoors on Wednesday without two of their offensive starters: C Rudy Niswanger and WR Mark Bradley.
Niswanger did not participate because of the left knee injury he suffered against Denver that will likely keep him out of this Sunday’s action, although the Chiefs have not said that publicly. Bradley is still trying to recover from a calf injury that’s taken him out of action for the better part of three weeks now. He was a limited participant.
The Chiefs did get starting RG Adrian Jones back to practice. Jones who suffered an ankle injury against the Chargers in San Diego on November 9. He’s not played since that game. Jones worked with the first-team offense. Also back and working with the defense in a limited form was LB Donnie Edwards, bouncing back from a knee injury that he suffered on Nov. 16 against New Orleans.
Also limited in participation was CB Maurice Leggett, who suffered a shoulder injury against Denver and veteran CB Pat Surtain with his quad injury.
It’s good to get Adrian Jones back. That way, with Niswanger out, the Chiefs can have Wade Smith start at center. I was afraid the team would have to reach even further down the depth chart if Niswanger and Jones were both out.

Amen Tim, it’s also a great opportunity to look at Smith for another game or 2.
He filled in pretty decently at guard, I thought.
No surprise that Donnie Edwards will be back and ready for San Diego.
Having Mark Bradley out will hurt us if it happens.
Good to hear the practice lasted almost 2 hours. that’s better than the 70-90 minute practices we were reading about earlier in the season.
