From Arrowhead Stadium


Backup OT Jared Gaither was not practicing with the Chiefs during their Friday morning workout inside the stadium. The big man did not immediately head to the rehab area, but after the stretching period Gaither joined the offensive linemen as an observer. Since he signed in the first week of camp, Gaither has had some knee problems.

We’ll find out later today when the Chiefs release their injury report how serious Gaither’s situation might be for Sunday against the Bills. The only other OT on the roster is recently claimed Steve Mareni, who has not yet played in an NFL regular season game.

There were 61 of 61 players on the field for the practice. WR Jonathan Baldwin continues to be a non-participant due to his right thumb. LG Ryan Lilja was back and QB Matt Cassel didn’t appear to be any worse for the wear of the week on that cracked rib suffered last week.
