The Kansas City Chiefs practiced on Wednesday but toned it down a bit, deciding to go without pads. It was a nice break given to the players by head coach Andy Reid, who is looking to keep the team fresh over the next six weeks before it takes on the Houston Texans come Sept. 13.
The offensive line saw plenty of rotation, with the starting five being Eric Fisher, Ben Grubbs, Eric Kush, Jeff Allen and Donald Stephenson. However, Mitch Morse came in for Kush and Fulton slid into the right guard spot with Allen kicking out to right tackle after only a few plays. Allen could be a pivotal member of this line because of his versatility, being able to play both guard spots and right tackle.
In addition, the injured players were Chris Conley, Junior Hemingway and James-Michael Johnson, with Dontari Poe obviously sidelined as well. Phillip Gaines left practice early on Tuesday with a sore knee, but was back on the field and participated in all drills.
Here are some tweets about the action:
Eric Berry makes a pick over the middle and the crowd applauds. Dove to the ground and everything.

They moved to STs work. Dustin Colquitt w/ a beautiful punt & an even better play by Frankie Hammond to catch it in the air at 1-yard line.

CB Phillip Gaines participating in team period. Made several cuts in pass coverage. Didn't appear to be favoring anything. #ChiefsCamp
