Chiefs Head Coach Andy Reid

**

OPENING STATEMENT: **"The guys that didn't practice today and are out are (Laurent) Duvernay-Tardif, (Dee) Ford and Mitch Morse. But they're all making progress and they're all getting better. We look forward to the challenge that we've got coming up this week. We know they're a good football team and we had a good week of practice, our guys are prepared. Again, look forward to the challenge."

Q: Is Parker Ehinger a possibility to play this weekend?

REID: "Yeah he worked in. We'll see how it goes, he was one of the guys that rotated in there so we'll see how it all works out."

Q: What's the most encouraging thing you've seen from the guys with this fast 4-0 start?

REID: "They've worked hard, they've come out every week and gone through the progression, that whole process that you have to go through to play in a game. As a coach you appreciate that part - preparation is a big thing. Then I think they enjoy the challenges that we've had and this Houston team is one of those, they're a good football team. We had to get ourselves ready to go and I think they've done that."

Q: How do you attest to Kareem (Hunt) getting stronger as the game goes on?

REID: "He did that in college and I don't know what you attribute it to – strength and conditioning, all that I guess. He did it in college and he's doing it now. I'm not sure why, I don't know the answer to that."
