Police have arrested Vince Young twice in the past three
years for driving while intoxicated. The former NFL quarterback said Friday that
he has gone to rehab but not for alcohol.¡°A lot of people don¡¯t know I went to
rehab
Maxx
Crosby Jersey ,¡± Young told Houston¡¯s Sports Radio 610. ¡°A lot of people
think I went to rehab for drinking. No, I went to rehab to hit the reset button.
I¡¯m sick and tired. I¡¯m tired. Sometimes you get tired. If you don¡¯t get better
for yourself and you don¡¯t take it one day at a time or you just don¡¯t worry
about ¡ª today [is June] 28th, just worry about today. Everything else you¡¯ve got
going on, behind you, in front of you, stop worrying about all that.¡±Young, 36,
had his latest DWI charge from February reduced to a misdemeanor obstruction of
a highway charge last month. He also recently celebrated four months sober. ¡°All
the stuff that happened in the past, it took me a while because I had to go
dissect that and clean it up myself,¡± Young said. ¡°It couldn¡¯t be no one else do
it. It couldn¡¯t be my agent; it couldn¡¯t be my mom; it couldn¡¯t be my wife; it
couldn¡¯t be none of those people. It had to be Vince Young to go do it. I can
tell anybody that is going through anything in life as an
athlete
Foster
Moreau Jersey , the only way for this stuff to get better is you go do
it.¡±Young, who made 50 starts in six seasons, said ¡°everything happens for a
reason¡± and owns what happened to him in the NFL and thereafter. He is working
on ¡°enjoying life, growing up and becoming a man.¡± KANSAS CITY, Mo. ¡ª Chiefs
coach Andy Reid delivered some promising news Wednesday when he rattled off the
list of players who wouldn¡¯t be practicing for this weekend¡¯s trip to Seattle
and running back Spencer Ware and offensive lineman Cam Erving were missing.Then
he mentioned right tackle Mitchell Schwartz.¡°You mean Cam Erving, right?¡± Reid
was asked.¡°No, Mitchell,¡± he replied.Well, so much for a promising injury
report.Reid indicated the Chiefs¡¯ stalwart right tackle hurt his knee in last
week¡¯s fourth-quarter collapse against the Chargers, which prevented the Chiefs
from clinching the AFC West and the AFC¡¯s top
seed
Joey Bosa
Jersey , but also put even more pressure on the team in Sunday night¡¯s
game against the Seahawks.Reid did say Schwartz was ¡°making progress¡± and could
play against Seattle.¡°I mean, to me, he¡¯s one of, if not the best right tackle
in the league,¡± Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes said of Schwartz, who was
voted a Pro Bowl alternate this week. ¡°He¡¯s had a ton of success for a long
time. It was disappointing him not making it (as a starter).¡±Reid also said
Kendall Fuller could play against the Seahawks, even though the Chiefs¡¯ top
cover cornerback played through a fractured hand against the Chargers. Fuller
had a minor procedure to fix the damage and was wearing a soft cast around his
right wrist in the locker room Wednesday.Wide receiver Sammy Watkins also
remained out as the Chiefs resumed workouts in earnest for the first time in a
week, though Kelvin Benjamin continues to take on a bigger role in the
offense.The biggest help on that side of the ball might be the return of Ware
and Erving.Ware hurt his shoulder and hamstring a couple of weeks ago against
Baltimore, and he was inactive for the game against the Chargers. Combine that
with the release of Kareem Hunt earlier this season and the Chiefs were down to
journeyman Damien Williams, Darrel Williams and Charcandrick West.Damien
Williams wound up flashing the most
promise
Tony
Pollard Jersey , running for 49 yards and two touchdowns while showing
some ability in the passing game.In fact, he performed so well that Reid
indicated he would likely share some of the load with Ware, who had been the
Chiefs¡¯ clear-cut No. 1.¡°I mean, will it be equal? I don¡¯t know about that.
We¡¯ll just see how it all shakes down,¡± Reid said. ¡°Again, I told the guys if
they¡¯re available, we¡¯ll find a way to use you the best we can, so be ready and
alert for it. We¡¯ll see how it all shakes out there.¡±The return of Erving helps
to solidify an offensive line that has managed to weather injuries to just about
everyone. Mitch Morse missed time with a concussion before returning to his
center job, and right guard Laurent Duvernay-Tardif remains on injured reserve
with a broken leg.Now, Schwartz is being held out of practice with a knee
injury.The injury outlook is a little rosier on
defense
Noah
Fant Jersey , even with Fuller¡¯s status for the Seahawks in question.
Strong safety Eric Berry came out of his season debut against the Chargers in
good shape, and 10 days between games means it¡¯s possible he could play the
entire way Sunday night.The defense struggled against Los Angeles in the second
half, when Berry went to the bench as planned. And he was sorely missing as the
Chargers rallied for two late TDs and the win.¡°We¡¯ll see how that goes. He¡¯ll
continue to increase time and we¡¯ll see how that disperses out there and what
the plan will be for this coming week,¡± Reid said. ¡°The positive was that he
came out feeling good. He was sore. He hadn¡¯t played in a long time.¡±NOTES: The
Chiefs had six players voted to the Pro Bowl this week: Mahomes, TE Travis
Kelce, FB Anthony Sherman, WR Tyreek Hill, LB Dee Ford and LT Eric Fisher. ¡°Huge
honor,¡± said Fisher, a former No. 1 overall draft
pick
Dalton
Risner Jersey , who will be going for the first time. ¡°I got Mom and
Grandma in town and they were all excited. You get the texts, the phone calls
from the people that have been behind you from Day One. It¡¯s a dream come true.¡±
¡ Schwartz wasn¡¯t the only Pro Bowl snub. DE Chris Jones did not make the team,
though he was listed as an alternate. ¡°They¡¯re both great football players,¡±
Sherman said, ¡°and if we could have voted for our own guys, we would
have.¡±100<button class="view-gallery">View Gallery</button>
