Dorsey's Family Fun Night Knee Injury Not Deemed Serious

Former LSU defensive tackle Glenn Dorsey was drafted fifth overall this off-season by the Kansas City Chiefs. Entering the NFL, I doubt Dorsey thought he enjoy an injury free career. Then again, I also highly doubt he was counting on the Chiefs annual "Family Fun Night" being the venue to witness his first professional malady.

That's right, Dorsey tweaked his knee Saturday at Family Fun Night. He will miss the first preseason game, but he's not alone in the KC rookie injury wagon:

" ... the Chiefs still think Dorsey's timetable is ahead of that of their other first-round draft pick, offensive tackle Branden Albert. Albert, who has a sprained foot, might not play at all in the preseason."

Ouch. You get two quality first round picks and they're going to miss time in their first training camp. It's not like the prospects for the Chiefs to make a playoff run were good (or even feasible), but things are already going poorly for Herm Edwards and company.

The best course of action is to be realistic and not take any chances whatsoever with either of these guys. They need to get reps on the field as the Chiefs look to build for the future, sure, but the reps need to be healthy ones.

KC will still play to win the game, I'm sure ... they just won't succeed much.
