Tamba Sweatin’ As An ‘Oldie’

(highlights)
Asked what he weighed this week, Hali said 275 pounds. He said he plays between 260 and 265 pounds during the season. The Chiefs are just about 60 days away from the first practices in pads for the veterans at training camp in St. Joseph. It won’t take a special diet plan for Hali to drop a pound every six days.
“If anybody reminds you of Derrick Thomas it would be that kid and his first step,” Hali said. “He gets off the ball so fast it’s scary. I just kept rewinding it yesterday and looking at it, and it’s like his first step he’s already taken when the ball is snapped. His first step is incredible.”
Notes from Wednesday’s OTA: there were 83 players taking part in the practice . . . rookie quarterback Aaron Murray was not on the field for the second practice of the week. Murray was in Los Angeles for a special rookie photo session that is staged by the league and the NFL Players Association . . . five other players on the roster were not involved in the work: tight end Travis Kelce (injury rehab), wide receiver Kyle Williams (injury rehab), defensive tackle Risean Broussard (injury), running back DeAnthony Thomas (NFL rules) and veteran defenders cornerback Brandon Flowers and outside linebacker Justin Houston.
