If there’s one positive from the fact that three Pro Bowlers from the Kansas City Chiefs defense haven’t yet participated in practice—it’s that it’s providing valuable reps for a core of talented young players who might not otherwise have this many opportunities to develop.
Veterans Justin Houston, Tamba Hali and Eric Berry have yet to step on the field for the Chiefs this preseason, and when you throw in veteran inside linebacker Josh Mauga, who has missed considerable practice time over the past couple of weeks with a groin injury, this sets the stage for the young players to get an opportunity to show what they can do.
