Injured Albert could miss the rest of camp

Rookie offensive tackle Branden Albert could miss the remainder of training camp with what the Chiefs called a sprained foot.
Albert was injured during Thursday night’s joint practice against the Minnesota Vikings. The Chiefs initially called the injury a sprained ankle.
Coach Herm Edwards called Albert day to day, but acknowledged Albert was unlikely to play in Thursday’s preseason opener against the Bears in Chicago.
"I’d say he’s more out than in," Edwards said. "He’ll have to rest it and see where he’s at right now."
Other officials indicated the Chiefs probably wouldn’t get their starting left tackle back before the Chiefs break training camp on Aug. 15. The injury is similar to the one received in training camp two years ago by guard Brian Waters
Waters missed three weeks of practice.
An absence of a similar length for Albert would be a huge setback for the Chiefs. Albert was a first-round pick and their only major addition as the Chiefs attempt to rebuild what last season was one of the worst offensive lines in the league.
Herb Taylor, a sixth-round draft pick last season who played on offense in only one game as a rookie, replaced Albert in practice Friday.

Chiefsinsider from Warpaint said he talked to Albert and in no way did he seem like he was in any pain or limping. If he had a stress fracture for sure it would have been confirmed by now.( Not by the Kansas City Star )!

Then Again some dude said he was walking with a soft cast and crutches so who really knows for sure.

Chiefs rookie LT Branden Albert expects to miss the rest of the preseason "barring a miracle."

Albert is in a walking boot and on crutches for his sprained foot, and it looks like the injury could carry over into the start of the regular season. More rough news for Chiefs fans and the Kansas City offense.
