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.

Yea but he only failed the raiders physical because the concentration of meth in his bloodstream was too low!

You don't see Richardson starting as a big deal?

Maybe he just doesn't like to practice.

**RealSNR** · 09-09-2011, 03:58 PM

Every time he steps onto the field he gives this offense new life. He'll play at some point this season and when he does, we'll rape faces

I was hoping they'd put him on that inactive list for like the first 6 games. After that, they put him on the roster or IR him.

That way he had plenty of time to get healthy & in shape.

To beat Buffalo at home?

We need Cassel and probably Breaston since Moeaki is out. That's it though.

so we pay him for a year to get in shape then he could possibly sign somewhere else next year.

Are we a charity now?

Yeah no shit. We signed him, we are paying him, if he's healthy he needs to play.

That's what the franchise tag is for.

O.city · 09-09-2011, 06:47 PM

Hey just needs to not be a pu*** and play...no if he is hurt then don't play. If he is healthy he needs to play.

we aren't using the tag on a pussy....Gaither has to prove he can be depended on to practice and play

**BossChief** · 09-09-2011, 06:55 PM

My hope is that he is ready to go around week 7 or 8.

That's when the shit gets interesting.
