Chiefs notebook: Flowers has sore foot and will be probable against Bucs (http://www.kansascity.com/sports/chiefs/story/869372.html)
Corner Flowers will be probable
Chiefs rookie cornerback Brandon Flowers sat out Friday’s practice because of a sore foot. Coach Herm Edwards said he expected Flowers to play Sunday against Tampa Bay, though he’ll enter the game listed as probable.
The Chiefs can’t afford to be without Flowers, who had his breakout game last Sunday with two interceptions against the New York Jets and Brett Favre. Flowers has started all seven of the Chiefs’ games so far and is fourth on the team with 33 tackles.
The Chiefs also will have cornerback Tyron Brackenridge active, a few days after the team re-signed him after letting Brackenridge go during the preseason.
Jamaal Charles expected to play
Rookie running back Jamaal Charles also should play Sunday after suffering a high ankle sprain against the Jets.
Charles was limited in practice during most of this week, including Friday. But he appeared to run without a limp.
“That’s good for us,” Edwards said. “He’s OK. Tough kid.”
