On Saturday — as the Kansas City Chiefs were completing their final preparations to host the Chicago Bears on Sunday — the NFL’s official transaction report showed that the team had made three roster moves.
The first was to place former New York Giants (and San Francisco 49ers) wide receiver Richie James on the team’s Reserve/Injured (injured reserve) list. On Wednesday, head coach Andy Reid revealed that James was among five Chiefs players who would miss practice that afternoon — and that the 28-year-old was dealing with an MCL (knee) injury that could keep him out for more than just the coming Bears game.
