KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Linebacker Tamba Hali has been playing for at least the last couple of seasons with aching knees that made practice impractical and games difficult. But on game day, Hali has almost always been able to grind things out. He has missed just three games because of injury in his 10-year NFL career.
Hali learned to play with injuries long before he joined the Kansas City Chiefs as a first-round draft pick in 2006.
