The Kansas City Chiefs were forced indoors for practice on Friday, so we didn’t have live tweets. Now, we catch up on the news.
On Friday, Kansas City did a little live action and it apparently left us with a ton of news on the inside linebackers. From all reports, Ramik Wilson looked great in goal line and Justin March continues to look like Willie Lanier, but not everything was good.
Josh Mauga is scheduled to undergo an MRI after straining his groin after being injured in practice. Without Mauga, the team will go with Wilson or March, something many Chiefs fans are very excited for.
Also, Nick Foles made his debut with the team, reportedly splitting second-team reps with Tyler Bray. Here are all the other updates and quotes from Friday:
Daniel Sorensen returned to practice. Albert Wilson still out. Shannon Edwards left practice with an injury.

#ChiefsCamp practice is over. @TheMarchingJay with another good day. Bulldozed blocker in 1-on-1's & then made diving play to breakup pass.

They went "Live" for the first time at #ChiefsCamp for a couple of periods today. Most competitive practice to date. DL wrecked everything.

Here's your daily "Marcus Peters had an interception at #ChiefsCamp" tweet.

He had one. It was nice. Pass intended for Conley from Smith.
There may not have been a player more fired up to go live today than @RakeemNunez. The guy made plays and let everyone know about each one.

Anthony Sherman was back on the field today. So was Dan Sorensen. Albert Wilson did not practice.

.@honeythunder14 also made a nice play during the live period across the middle. He reversed field & scored TD w/ 30+ yards after catch.

One of the best plays of the day came from @WilsonRamik on the goal line. Hopped over guy on ground to shoot through & make tackle for loss.

Alex Smith w/ a nice back-shoulder pass to @tkelce, who made the contested catch in end zone to finish a nice drive from 1st team offense.

Rod Streater continued to fill in for Wilson with the first team.
