Boe in, confirmed
 

CHIEFS NOTEBOOK: Boerigter ready to play

The Kansas City Star

Memo to the equipment manager: Marc Boerigter will be needing his No. 85 jersey this weekend.

Boerigter, who didn’t suit up for the Chiefs’ first three games, will be active for Sunday’s game with the Eagles. He took most of the reps with the No. 1 offense in Friday’s practice and will suit up in place of fellow receiver Chris Horn.

“It’s just being fair,” coach Dick Vermeil said. “And fair means between more than one person. It could be looked upon to not being fair to Chris Horn, but we have been fair to Chris Horn — we’ve given him an opportunity, and he’s done a great job, and he’ll be back on the active roster soon.

“We just think Boerigter deserves an opportunity.”

Boerigter sat out last year because of a knee injury. At 6 feet 3, he’s the biggest target at wide receiver for quarterback Trent Green.

“It’s been a long time coming,” Boerigter said, “and it’s just another Sunday for me. I’ve been there before so it’s nothing different.

“I thought I did enough in the preseason to prove I’m back to were I was before the injury. It’s kind of a numbers game, and I got caught up in it. I don’t think I have anything to prove. My knee’s been healthy for a long time now. It’s not even an issue.”

ROAF OUT

One person who won’t be suiting up Sunday is left tackle Willie Roaf.

Roaf, a 10-time Pro Bowler, didn’t practice Friday and is out for the Eagles game, Vermeil said. It’s the third straight week a hamstring injury has kept Roaf in street clothes.

Jordan Black will start for Roaf at left tackle, and Kevin Sampson will get the start at right tackle.

INJURY REPORT

Tight end Jason Dunn returned to practice Friday and is expected to play. Linebacker Keyaron Fox, defensive tackle Ryan Sims and Roaf missed the workout.

Well then, its settled.....Bo will have 350 yards recieving tommorow and 5 TD's.

well hopefully he just closes his mouth and lets his playing do the talking this weekend.

Bo once took a roundhouse kick from Chuck Norris and, energized, caught a touchdown pass. He wears a helmet fashioned from Norris' skull to this day.

about damn time!

Good. Let's make him the secret weapon this week.

Yeah, but could he whip Scanlon in a cage match? :hmmm:

No but Chris Horn could, being a tough guy from Billings. ROFL

So it is fair to de-active Chris Horn who has caught every ball thrown his way and has made plays this season, versus say "secret weapon" Kris Wilson who has done virtually nothing, outside of 1 catch and a 1 yard gain on a reverse, this season?

Okayyyyyyyyyy :rolleyes:

This is a good move. It's what I wanted.

I agree, Horn has done a hell of a job and it would only be "fair" that he play instead of one of the other jackasses that hasn't played worth a crap.

Wilson is in becuase Dunn is kinda hurt. If Dunn goes down then Tony G will be overworked. Thats not a Smart move to keep wilson on the inactive roster.

Horn has been solid for us, but he cannot run after the catch as where Boe can. We need to get some points scored we need some run after the catch, Currently that is only Eddie Kennison.

I hopy you're right. We shall find out in the very near future.

according to KCChiefs.com anyway
