Chiefs coach Andy Reid opened his Wednesday news conference like he always does, with an injury update. The only Chiefs player not scheduled to practice that day was wide receiver Sammy Watkins.
The immediate reaction focused on Eric Berry, the All-Pro safety who hasn’t played or worked out since early August and was returning the practice field.
But the injury report also was newsworthy for another name that did not appear. Center Mitch Morse, who has missed the previous five games because of concussion symptoms, had cleared the protocol and would be on the field.
