We Have Our First Member Of The Chiefs Practice Squad
The Kansas City Chiefs will start filling out their practice squad today and we know of one name that will be on it -- OT David Mims. The Virginia Union offensive tackle will become the first known member of the Chiefs 2011 practice squad.
He signed with the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent and went through training camp with the team over the last month. The first thing that jumps out at you is his size -- 6'8" and 330 pounds -- and he looks every bit of it. He and OT Butch Lewis were two undrafted free agent offensive tackles that were competing for a spot. I figured one of those two guys would make the 53-man roster but neither did. It's possible Lewis joins the practice squad, too. The waiver wire was over at 11:00 a.m. (Arrowhead Time) today so we should start hearing a little more about the Chiefs practice squad. They can put eight players on there, which will be compromised of young guys that went through camp with the team or other players around the league that were waived this week. http://www.arrowheadpride.com/2011/9...practice-squad |

I'm glad Mims made the PS. Was afraid another team would take a chance on him. He's a bit raw & his footwork needs some help, especially in pass protection, but when he gets his hands on a defender, it's tough for them to get away from him.
Plus, he seems like a great guy. Was listening to an interview with him during TC, he was a lot better with the media than you would expect for an offensive lineman from a D2 school. |

I can't imagine that there isn't at least 1 player cut from another team that isn't better than Lawrence or one of the other duds.

To match the heavier 3-4 D-Line presence in our roster.

Now who was it that was saying the Chiefs would never go light on the Oline?
Just 2 guys for depth unless the Chiefs sign someone new.

Look for the Chiefs to sign or claim someone.

Why is Torribio on the practice squad?
