Chiefs 9-1 Andy Reid Q&A OL/TE notes

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that Thursday’s game against the St. Louis Rams would be important for those Chiefs still fighting for a spot on the 53-man roster.
"Most of those guys that were on the fence are going to get an opportunity to play,” he said. “We'll go through and evaluate it. There are some spots there that are very important in the reps that these guys get in our evaluation."

Reid said that it’s likely tight end Demetrius Harris will see his first action since last year against the Rams.

"There's a good chance,” he said. “I kind of want to go back and see how he feels after today. If he does it won't be a ton, but there's a chance he plays Thursday."

Reid said that offensive lineman Zach Fulton would take snaps at center on Thursday.

"I'm going to get him a few reps this game,” he said. “Right now I feel pretty comfortable about it unless something changes in the game. I think he needs that work. I think that will be good for him."

Forgot about Fulton at C. Obviously they're comfortable enough with him in practice to play there but it will be nice to see him get time there against the Rams. It's interesting, to me at least, because as the cuts approach and depending on how well he looks I think it's possible they cut Kush. If Allen and Fulton can play C there's no need to Kush to be on the 45 man game day roster. They take the 5 starters and 2 backups. Backing up C only won't get you on the game day roster. Depending how many they keep it might push Kush off the roster...might.
