Chiefs’ Law happy to be back
It was only a routine interception during 11-on-11 drills, something that will be repeated a hundred times in training camps around the country.
But it gave Ty Law more satisfaction than the pick he returned 47 yards for a touchdown in the Super Bowl.
“I broke on my bad foot,” Kansas City’s veteran cornerback said with a grin. “I was like, ‘Oh, man! It works!’ “
It isn’t as though the five-time Pro Bowler has been out of football since a foot injury shelved him for New England’s last nine games in 2004. His 10 interceptions for the New York Jets in 2005 tied for the NFL lead, and he had four picks with the Chiefs last year.
But with every snap of the ball, he had to compensate for the bad foot.
“It was such a traumatic injury for me, even after going to the Jets and coming away with 10 picks,” he said. “I wasn’t the same guy. It was tough. They said it would be a two-year injury. I was playing more of a mental game.”
Broncos’ Holdman hospitalized
Denver Broncos linebacker Warrick Holdman was hospitalized with a spinal cord concussion following a collision with a teammate at training camp.
Holdman was carted off the field strapped to a backboard and taken by ambulance to Sky Ridge Medical Center, where he was being kept overnight for observation, team spokesman Jim Saccomano said.
Moss misses practices
A day after appearing to injure his left leg during a passing drill, Randy Moss missed two practices with the New England Patriots.
“Randy’s good,” coach Bill Belichick said. “Day to day.”
Asked about a timetable for Moss’ return, Belichick said, “My crystal ball’s no clearer than yours.”
