This was pretty interesting on what Andy said about Nick Allegretti:
Quote:

“Nick is an offensive lineman who can play center or guard—dual-position guy, probably could kick out at tackle. He’s not a small guy, but we like him in those two positions: guard and center. He’ll be working center out here with the first group, and then he’ll get a little guard work in as we go. Extremely intelligent. If the Wonderlic test means something, he’ll be number one on the team. He’s a two-time team captain, and there’s nothing pretty here... he’s a tough kid and moves around well. The one thing that jumps out at you is he’s dirty tough. That’s the one thing—when you watch tape on him without even knowing him, you go, ‘That’s a tough nut right there.’”

So the Chiefs are playing him as a center first, then trying him out at guard secondarily...
I imagine it will be "open competition" for starting center, but Allegretti is the likely favorite, similar to how other battles and training camp have tended to work in Andy Reid's time here. They probably only give it to Reiter if he's awesome and Allegretti is absolutely balls ass lousy.
Again, this is just me speculating, but I think they've seen what they've seen out of Reiter and are satisfied with him as a backup, but they would prefer if at all possible to not have to plug him in at starter for an entire season.
