On Wednesday afternoon, Kansas City Chiefs backup quarterback Chad Henne was back at practice.
As you’ll remember, Henne injured his ankle (what is it with the Chiefs and ankle injuries this year, anyway?) during the preseason. The injury was going to require surgical repair, so the Chiefs kept him on the roster through the preseason’s final cutdown and then immediately placed him on injured reserve — moves that would make Henne eligible to return to the active roster after he had missed eight games (not weeks) of the regular season.
