Albert to miss all of training camp?
I didn't see any posts with this info yet....
http://www.kansascity.com/sports/chi...ry/730400.html Sprained ankle may keep rookie Albert out of camp, Chiefs say By ADAM TEICHER The Kansas City Star RIVER FALLS, Wis. | Rookie offensive tackle Branden Albert could miss the remainder of training camp with what the Chiefs called a sprained foot. Albert was injured during Thursday night’s joint practice against the Minnesota Vikings. The Chiefs initially called the injury a sprained ankle. Coach Herm Edwards called Albert day to day, but acknowledged Albert was unlikely to play in Thursday’s preseason opener against the Bears in Chicago. "I’d say he’s more out than in," Edwards said. "He’ll have to rest it and see where he’s at right now." Other officials indicated the Chiefs probably wouldn’t get their starting left tackle back before the Chiefs break training camp on Aug. 15. The injury is similar to the one received in training camp two years ago by guard Brian Waters. Waters missed three weeks of practice. An absence of a similar length for Albert would be a huge setback for the Chiefs. Albert was a first-round pick and their only major addition as the Chiefs attempt to rebuild what last season was one of the worst offensive lines in the league. Herb Taylor, a sixth-round draft pick last season who played on offense in only one game as a rookie, replaced Albert in practice Friday. Offensive coordinator Chan Gailey was obviously frustrated about the lost practice time for a developing player. "We need to have him in there because he’s a rookie," Gailey said. "As good as he is, he needs work and he needs to see a lot of different looks. It would have been great for him to have the whole night against a different person rushing. But it didn’t work out that way and we’ll have to pick it up as games go along." To reach Adam Teicher, Chiefs reporter for The Star, call 816-234-4875 or send e-mail to ateicher@kcstar.com. |

Just think:
If Albert hadn't been signed on time, this probably wouldn't have happened. Dammit, Carl |

Yes, this is a setback but probably won't make a difference since we are going to suck no matter what. Really no big deal.
