- RIVER FALLS, Wis. — Their most prominent rookie remained a no-show Friday as rain forced the Kansas City Chiefs indoors for their first two practices of their 2008 camp.

In the meantime, Glenn Dorsey, the 300-pound defensive tackle the Chiefs made the No. 5 overall pick last April, still had not signed a contract, and team president Carl Peterson said he told Dorsey’s agent that it was now up to the player’s side to restart negotiations. - Kansas City places Gathright on DL, calls up Maier
