Chiefs Have Overcome Injuries, Schedule Woes In 5-0 Start

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Andy Reid had just finished the Kansas City Chiefs' morning walkthrough inside the team's practice facility when he stepped up to a microphone and began a roster roll call. At least, that's what it sounded like. The long list of names was in fact the injury report, a listing of guys who weren't going to be at the full afternoon practice. He may have even left a couple out, the list was so long, from offensive linemen Laurent Duvernay-Tardif (knee sprain) and Mitch Morse (foot sprain) to tight end Travis Kelce (concussion) and wide receiver Albert Wilson (knee sprain). The biggest loss was already known: Reid confirmed wide receiver Chris Conley is done for the season after rupturing his Achilles tendon in last Sunday's victory in Houston. He joins star safety Eric Berry, who ruptured his Achilles tendon in the season opener. Yet despite all the injuries, a brutally difficult set of opponents and a topsy-turvy schedule, the Chiefs have managed to overcome it all. They are the NFL's lone unbeaten team heading into a premier showdown on Sunday with the Pittsburgh Steelers, the same team that eliminated them from last season's playoffs. "I think for us, when you're in it, you're just going," quarterback Alex Smith said.
