AFC West: Bruce Hall
The Kansas City Star reported that linebackers Derrick Johnson and Jovan Belcher were working with the first-team defense and center Casey Wiegmann was the first-team starter during the media availability portion of Monday’s workout.
I can see how all of those decisions make sense, especially Wiegmann. He is a natural anchor and leader for a line.

- Oakland running back Michael Bush was limited in practice Monday. He has a broken thumb. Still, it is unknown how much, if at all, he can play at Tennessee on Sunday.
- Linebacker Shawne Merriman was among the players who did practice Monday in San Diego. He has an Achilles injury that has been bothering him for weeks. Merriman could be limited at Kansas City on Monday.
- Denver added offensive lineman Jeff Byers, defensive lineman Lionel Dotson and running back Bruce Hall to the practice squad. Byers was last with Seattle and Dotson was with Miami.
As expected, Oakland has named Stanford Rout the starting right cornerback ahead of incumbent Chris Johnson. This has been coming a while. Johnson was dreadful in the preseason.
You have to wonder if Oakland will make a play for fullback Tony Richardson. He was cut by the Jets. Oakland doesn’t currently have a traditional fullback on its roster. Richardson is a longtime standout. Oakland tried to make it work with Lorenzo Neal last year, so maybe Richardson will get a call. It wouldn’t hurt. He’s a pro’s pro.
Here is an updated look at Oakland’s practice squad.
Denver claimed offensive lineman Chris Clark off waivers from Minnesota. Denver cut linebacker Baraka Atkins and running back Bruce Hall. Running back Andre Brown was claimed off waivers from the Giants earlier in the day. Denver added linebacker Kevin Alexander, receiver Britt Davis, tight end Riar Geer, safety Kyle McCarthy and linebacker Worrell Williams on the practice squad. Williams is the younger brother of Denver standout linebacker D.J. Williams.
The Chiefs claimed defensive tackle Anthony Toribio off waivers from Green Bay. To make room for him, receiver Quinten Lawrence was cut. Toribio, a run plugger, played one game with the Packers last season.
