Kansas City Places CB/S Maurice Leggett on Injured Reserve
Nov 25, 2009, 12:30:51 PM

The Kansas City Chiefs announced on Wednesday that the club has placed CB/S Maurice Leggett on injured reserve.

Leggett (5-11, 188) has played in 22 career games (four starts) with the Chiefs, recording 47 tackles (43 solo), an INT for a 27-yard touchdown, nine passes defensed and eight special teams tackles. He also has five punt returns for 13 yards. The Valdosta State product entered the NFL as a rookie free agent with Kansas City in 2008.

OK with Leggett gone for the year who takes his roster spot? Do we call up Ricky Price, Harris, or Jarvis Williams? Or do we sign a guy like Matt Roth? Discuss.

Hopefully nobody, becuase the Chiefs can't claim him if someone in front of them already have claimed then, and the Chiefs can't do anything about it.

yea but Carr is young so that anticipation can develop as the player gains experience.

I cannot tell you how pissed I was, after Morgan played a pretty decent game against Jacksonville, that Haley was putting Leggett out there as a safety instead against the Raiders.

Good riddance. I like Leggett, I think he has a future on this team. But it turns out we're just going to have to start clearing the brush out to get Morgan on the field.

LEGGETT A BIG LOSS…
November 25th – 2:15 PM

The loss of DB Maurice Leggett is a tough one to take. Notice the DB in front of his name and not the “CB” in the previous sentence. Leggett had become a “team-first,” do-it-all type of defender ready to step in and help the organization whether it be at corner, nickel or safety.

“We had moved Maurice to safety and I think that he was really excited about it and had shown a lot of promise,” Chiefs head coach Todd Haley said. “So, this would be a setback obviously. It’s one that you never want to see.“

“He’s a great kid with great enthusiasm,” Haley continued. “I think he’ll put everything in it to get back and we’ll be looking forward to it in the offseason.“

It looks like Leggett’s injury, reported to be a shoulder last Sunday, will not be one that heals on its own and will require surgery to repair.

The Chiefs still currently stand at 52 active players and there is speculation to which safety they will add to the roster, if any. A number of safeties reportedly tried out in Kansas City over the past month and Ricky Price is another option for promotion from the practice squad. The Chiefs have also shown no fear going to battle with just three safeties , which was prevalent when DaJuan Morgan was a healthy inactive in Oakland to weeks ago.

Part of that rationale could be the comfort with CB Travis Daniels potentially being an emergency safety. Daniels has limited experience at the position, but has appeared at safety sparingly over his five-year NFL career. Daniels served as the Chiefs primary nickel back last Sunday vs. Pittsburgh.

No matter the move that occurs, two of the three practices for this Sunday’s game are in the books. If the addition is from the outside, odds would be against that player playing this Sunday in San Diego.

booger · 11-25-2009, 02:24 PM

I don't know what's out there for safeties. Mike Doss, Nate Salley.

Maybe bump up Price from the PS like has been mentioned.
Guess we'll see.

yea, because i'm sure the Chiefs coaching staff would of put leggett out there if they thought Morgan was really playing well.

here's a notion ... morgan was screwing up and you didn't notice. The Chiefs coaching staff did notice and so they put leggett out there.

this bullshit about Morgan being good and how it's a shame that he's not playing is so silly.

Yeah, sure it is, Laz.

Because the Chiefs coaching staff has done such an excellent job at personnel evaluations this year.

CoMoChief · 11-25-2009, 02:58 PM

In 22 games, Leggett did more (or was more effective) than William Bartee did in 7 seasons

Well now we have to trade for Nnamdi, no matter what the cost.

Such a ringing endrosement!

Titty Meat · 11-25-2009, 03:39 PM

Is this the same shoulder injury that put Leggett out for the year last season?

Yeah, because the Chiefs coaching staff wouldn't put Allenman or Smith at guard or center, because they clearly haven't outplayed Goff and Niswanger.
