From the Truman Sports Complex

Ordinarily, a football player sprains his medial collateral ligament in his knee and he’s out four to six weeks. But every person’s body and mind are different when it comes to injury and Rudy Niswanger is proving that again.

It looks like the Chiefs are going to have their starting center available for Sunday’s game in Jacksonville. Niwsanger was a full participant in Friday’s practice and Todd Haley has him listed as probable for playing against the Jaguars. Niswanger sprained the MCL in his left knee on Oct. 25 against San Diego. He missed the bye week practices, but returned this week.

But added to the injury report on Friday was RG Mike Goff with a shoulder injury. Goff was limited in his participation in Friday’s practice and is listed as questionable for the game.
CB Mike Richardson was back on the practice field Friday morning. He missed Wednesday and Thursday practices because of illness. Richardson is listed as probable.

Not practicing was FS Jon McGraw, who continues his attempt to recover from a leg muscle strain. The Chiefs list him as doubtful. Second-year man DaJuan Morgan will take his spot in the starting lineup.

Todd Haley said that recently added WR Chris Chambers has worked hard to get prepared for this Sunday’s game and there’s “a chance he can be up and contributing.”

The Chiefs have until Saturday to make a decision on RB Kolby Smith. He’s practiced for the last three weeks and that window of opportunity closes with team having three options: active hm, return him the PUP list for the remainder of the season, or release him. Expect the Chiefs to activate Smith and expect him to play on Sunday.

My preference is that neither of them play, but if I had to choose, I'd rather see Rudy than Goff.

I bet that they throw at least 10 passes to Chambers.

Rudy is like some kind of STD that will never go away no matter what you do.

it will go into remission but one day it pops back up just to let you know it's still around.

Can't you just solve both problems by sticking Niswanger at RG and Smith at C?

Niswanger should play...at Right Guard.

So I'm not clear who is good news and who is bad?

I might be wrong, but I think he played all last year at center but played a few games the year before at RG and excelled.

I wonder if this is an actual injury, or if it is more of a change because of the results of their "extensive study on the cause of the plays for lost yardage" Haley talked about going into the bye. You cant turn a blind eye to the fact he has been the #1 culprit so far.
