Kansas City could use LJ's help because the backfield has been devastated by injuries. Kolby Smith is out for the season, and Jamaal Charles is bothered by an ankle injury that limited him against the Chargers. That leaves Kansas City with unproven options in Dantrell Savage and Jackie Battle, which isn't much for KC Wolf to cheer about.

T he trick play was nice and all, but Mark Bradley has walked that road. He wants to talk about catches and what that means for the present in Kansas City, and — if he’s not being too forward — his future here, too.

This is a wide receiver whose career path had turned rocky until last month, when the Chiefs signed Bradley after Chicago cut him a week earlier. Bradley expected the Bears to release him after an icy relationship formed between him and the staff before the regular season began.

Then again …

“That’s the past,” he said, changing the subject.

So is Bradley’s role in one of Kansas City’s most thrilling plays of the season. It was the second quarter of last Sunday’s overtime loss to Tampa Bay.

Bradley took a pitch from running back Jamaal Charles, bobbled and got control of the ball, and fired a missile to quarterback Tyler Thigpen in the end zone. Thigpen had lined up at wide receiver, Charles at quarterback. Bradley was the triggerman, and he nailed it.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Larry Johnson is expected to return to the lineup after he serves a one-game suspension for Sunday's game against the San Diego Chargers.

A series of off-field issues led to the Chiefs' decision to deactivate the Pro Bowl running back for the past three games.

But on Wednesday, coach Herman Edwards said it is time for Johnson to return to the field.

"He's been out a month. It's time for him to come back and do what he needs to do to prepare himself to get ready to play football," Edwards said. "We'll see where that's at."

Johnson was charged with simple assault on October 27 for allegedly spitting his drink in a woman's face earlier this month.

The 28-year-old also had an assault charge filed against him last month stemming from an incident in which he allegedly pushed a woman at a Kansas City nightclub on February 24.
