So it's easy to understand why Fasano, who sat out for the third straight week Sunday due to knee and ankle injuries, felt the need to vent a bit after the Chiefs' 26-17 win over the Tennessee Titans.

The other guys have done a nice job; it s not hindering what we re doing there," Reid said of Fasano s absence. westin hotel chicago "I think his frustration is over just not being healthy. If he s tweeting that, it s just not about having the opportunity to play. He loves to play the game.
