Chiefs head coach Dick Vermeil said Morris is expected to be out at least six weeks....

RIVER FALLS, Wis. - The Chiefs career of former No. 1 draft pick Sylvester Morris may have ended Monday. The club learned the wide receiver would miss several weeks of practice because of torn tissue in his hip.

"Basically, he misses training camp and maybe a little more," Chiefs coach Dick Vermeil said.

Morris' chances for making the team weren't good before the injury, which occurred Sunday in the first practice of training camp. The first four wide receivers are set, and Dameane Douglas appears ready to secure the fifth spot.

The Chiefs may not keep more than five wide receivers. If they keep six, Marvin Minnis has the best shot at making the club.
