Tait requires 17 stitches after scrimmage fight

Offensive tackle John Tait will miss two weeks of the Kansas City Chiefs' training camp after a fight with a rookie teammate left him with cuts that needed 17 stitches to close.

Tait, the starting right tackle, also broke his nose in the fight Tuesday with defensive lineman Eddie Freeman.

"He had my helmet and hit me with it. It wasn't his fist," Tait said Wednesday. "It's common knowledge he had my helmet in his hand and he swung it back and hit me with it."

Freeman, a second-round draft pick from Alabama-Birmingham, has been involved in several fights since the Chiefs opened practice Friday.
