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. |

It's enough you make you want to drink 4 gin martinis.
Exactly enough. FAX |

So, what do we do now that Albert's career is over?

I hope they let him heal, don't try to rush him back. I expected this year to be rough with hopefully steady improvement, but these type of things really put a damper on any kind of silver lining you were hoping to find. I was really hoping Croyle would have the time to develop his progression reads and limit his mistakes so that we felt confident enough to not have to draft a QB with our first pick. Albert, I hope you are a quick (and complete) healer.

Honestly though, if it's a Brian Waters type of injury then he'll be fine

Herb Taylor did look good at left tackle last year in the Detroit and Jets game. It sucks to lose Albert but at least another young guy is getting reps and they arent panicing and shuffling everybody around.

Any reason why I keep seeing fans post words such as "chronic" and "reoccuring?"
So far as I know Albert has zero injury history, and this was just a fluke injury. |

And as TW said, if it's a Brian Waters type injury, then it isn't a big deal, and Albert being about 10-12 years younger should heal faster. Where's that Chicken Little news report?

If we hadn't signed him so early and he was still missing camp, this never would have happened. DAMMIT CARL!
