More injuires… the latest (I think)
Just in case you haven’t heard here is the latest news about the injuries to the Kansas City Chiefs:
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.
More to come later. Oh, and I also think that… wait a min… my phone is ringing… it’s the Chiefs asking me if I can play defense on Sunday.

Injury to Croyle: He “hopes” to be back in 2-3 weeks
I heard this on the Fox “The OT” show and now here is a link to prove it. Just thought I would let you know if you didn’t already.
Brodie Croyle (separated shoulder) “hopes” to be back in 2-3 weeks, according to FOXSports’ Jay Glazer.
Damon Huard will start in Week 2 against the Raiders. Oakland’s secondary is fantastic, but his insertion is good news for Tony Gonzalez and Dwayne Bowe (assuming Bowe remembers how to catch the ball next week). Since shoulder separations can recur, don’t expect Croyle to be back too soon.
from Rotoworld
After watching the game, I’m not sure if we are better off with Croyle or Huard as our QB, but either way I wish Croyle the best.

Dorsey’s knee sprain not serious, Chiefs say
According to the KC Star Glenn Dorsey’s knee isn’t as bad as they thought it was… WHEW!!!
- Glenn Dorsey’s knee injury isn’t as bad as the Chiefs initially feared.Their top draft pick has a sprained knee and won’t play in Thursday’s preseason opener against the Bears in Chicago. But they are hopeful he could play in the following game on Aug. 16 against Arizona at Arrowhead Stadium.
I don’t know about you, but I just let out a huge sigh of relief. It still sucks, but it could have been much worse.

Branden Albert & Glenn Dorsey Both Injured
As a fan this just sucks so much. Both first rounders are injured. I guess now we will see what Tank Tyler and Herb Taylor are made of.
Chiefs officials here for the Pro Football Hall of Fame Induction ceremonies say the best case scenario is rookie left tackle Brandon Albert will miss three to four weeks because of a foot injury.
That makes his presence for the New England regular season opener very much in doubt.[Gretz]
and some more good news…
- The more likely scenario is that Albert will miss four or five weeks. If the injury heals slowly, then it could be six weeks.It’s a ligament injury and does not involves any bones, so it’s nothing like the foot injury suffered last year by RB Larry Johnson. Albert will continue to lift weights and work his upper body, but obviously cardio conditioning will suffer. In several weeks he’ll begin work on the stationary bike and then will progress to work in a rehab pool.[Gretz]

Chiefs’ top pick Dorsey hurts knee
Well, in a matter of days both Chiefs 1st round draft picks have been injured… son of a bee sting!!! I don’t even know what to say about this. Hopefully this isn’t the kind of year its going to be…
- Rookie defensive tackle Glenn Dorsey, the Chiefs’ top draft pick and the centerpiece of their rebuilding effort, injured his left knee during the annual Family Fun Night practice Saturday.Coach Herm Edwards described the injury as a sprain
“He’s probably going to be week to week,’’ Edwards said. “They won’t know until they do all of the MRIs and all of that. They’ll find out what’s going on. But I don’t think it’s serious.’’[KC Star]
Tank Tyler, a third-round draft pick last year, will replace Dorsey in the starting lineup. Herb Taylor, a sixth-round pick last year, is replacing Albert. Taylor played in one game on offense as a reserve last year.
