Speaking to the local Kansas City media after practice on Tuesday, Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid ruled out five rostered players — wide receiver Gehrig Deiter, quarterback Chad Henne, defensive back Michael Hunter, defensive lineman Breeland Speaks and tight end Deon Yelder — for the team’s fourth and final preseason game Thursday night against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field.
Reid also detailed Dieter’s status for the first time since noting he had been dealing with “back spasms” early on during training camp at Missouri Western State University in St Joseph.
