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.

I didn't feel much like getting up and going to work today either, but I managed...

Gaither has done nothing since signing. He'll end up being cut IMO sometime during the year because of his inability to stay healthy. The guy has been dinged for the last year and a half now, and even failed the Raiders physical.

I'm starting to wonder if this is just a lazy thing. He played well in the last game and didn't have any problems. or so it seemed

I dunno if he will get cut but at this point who knows if he will ever make a difference.

He was a low risk high reward. Haley has always stated fromt he get go, that they are going to take it very slow with this dude.

This is not shocking at all. They more or less want him on the roster hoping he can be healthy and it pays off, If not, just cut him. Its not like he's breaking the bank or hamstringing the payroll.

Actually, what time he did see on the field he looked pretty good.

It was a low risk, high reward signing. If he fails, so be it. This was heralded as a good signing when they brought him in, so I just love the arm chair 2nd guessing around here

I'm not upset about the signing. I just really want him to play as I think he improves this oline immensly .

Is he related to Croyle by chance?

"We are just bringing him along slow, hopefully he will be ready to go by next year".

When I said "years" I wasn't referring to just him. Gaither, O'Connell, Moeaki, Broken Crayon, and I'm sure there are more.
