On Tuesday, the Kansas City Chiefs continued to prepare not only for Saturday’s final cutdown to 53 players (which must take place before 3 p.m. Arrowhead Time) but also for the first game of the NFL season, when the Houston Texans will face the Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium a week from Thursday night.
As was the case on Monday, Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that just two Chiefs would miss Tuesday afternoon’s practice: presumed starting left guard Kelechi Osemele and offensive lineman Martinas Rankin. The Chiefs said that Osemele was being held out after complaining of a stiff neck.
