Chiefs' Armani Watts: Back at practice
Rotowire
Watts (ankle) returned to Chiefs practice last Saturday, Matt McMullen of the team's official site reports.
The rookie fourth-round pick missed the first two days of training camp, and he'll need to capitalize on every opportunity to show he belongs. His 4.64 40-yard dash time is concerning for a safety, but Watts has impressive tackling ability, as he notched 87 tackles (10 for a loss) in his senior season at Texas A&M. Watts will have a chance to shoulder a hefty workload depending on how he progresses through preseason.
