Now that Ashley Lelie is a Raider, it looks like Oakland has succeeded in cornering the market on ex-Broncos receivers who are really way more trouble than they're worth. Both Javon Walker and Lelie will be wearing silver and black this season. Who's next? Eddie Kennison?

WR Maurice Price did not work in the practice and WR Will Franklin’s participation was limited as he recovers from his knee surgery. I think it’s safe to say that Price and Franklin will be two of the game-day inactive players for the Chiefs.

DT Tank Tyler was not on the practice field, excused for personal reasons. He’s expected to be back for practice work on Friday. His snaps were shared by the three other DTs.

Tom Brady to Start This Sunday; Chiefs Designate Captains

Chris — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 21:09:27 -0000

You knew he was going to start, right? From The Red Zone:

The Patriots just sent me their daily injury report and quarterback Tom Brady is nowhere on it.

That is public acknowledgment that Brady will not only play but start on Sunday against the Chiefs.

Geez the Patriots get way too much out of messing with the injury report. Way too much.

Plus, in what is turning out to be me pillaging The Red Zone's content, the Kansas City Chiefs named their captains for the season.

The Chiefs designated four captains for the season: guard Brian Waters, cornerback Pat Surtain, linebacker Pat Thomas and special teams player Jon McGraw were elected by a vote of their teammates.

You just know McGraw lobbied for like six weeks to get one of those captain spots. Gerrymandering, illegitimate voters, hanging chads...McGraw is all too familiar with those.

Don't forget about actual football being played tonight. It's the Redskins and Giants tonight at 6 PM central time.

Unfortunately, the folks in the media do not really understand the salary cap. Never have. Never will. I can’t say that I’ve got my arms wrapped around it, but I work every day to understand what it all means and the effect it has on the most important thing: what happens on the field.

So let’s deal with the facts here and see if we can explain what’s going on and show that having this room under the cap is not necessarily a bad thing.

When just about everyone affiliated with the team is hinting at the word "rebuilding," that's not a good thing. They could be worse than even Miami.

Rookie Dantrell Savage thinks he made the final Chiefs roster because of one reason.

You. The fans.

"I think it was definitely the fans," he said after Wednesday’s practice. "I showed the fans that I could do the job, and they got behind me. The fans saw that I worked hard.

"They supported me and saw how much I was putting into it. It felt like they were rooting for me, and I think that made a difference."

Chiefs rookie cornerback Brandon Flowers has a good idea of what his day will involve on Sunday. He imagines spending much time running down the field along with Randy Moss or Wes Welker and then turning to see Tom Brady throwing passes their way.

WR Will Franklin was a limited participant due to his knee injury, but he was able to move around well and did not show any signs of problems.
