Boerigter having strong training camp

RIVER FALLS, Wis. _ After missing last season because of a knee injury, wide receiver Marc Boerigter is quietly having a strong training camp.

“I’m still shaking off some rust but it’s going as well as I could expect,’’ Boerigter said. “It’s coming back fairly quickly. Catching the ball, I’m not rusty at all. I’m just having to train my body back into some of these movements.’’

That’s good news for the Chiefs, who are looking for receivers to claim some available playing time. Boerigter is a prime candidate.

He missed all of the off-season practices because of knee rehabilitation, making a strong return to camp even more important. Boerigter has practiced only once each day, which he said was more precautionary than anything.

“It’s kind of up to me,’’ he said. “There’s no reason for going one a day because my knee is healthy. They’re looking at saving the wear and tear. I feel pretty good doing it this way. I’d hate to do a ton of two-a-days and then have a setback or something and have to take a couple of days off.

“Eventually, I’ll go to two practices a day.’’

The Chiefs took today off fro

m practice. Camp resumes Friday with morning and afternoon workouts.




Imo, if Bo can stay healthy, he'll win the starting WR spot. Parker would make for a good slot receiver.
