The Kansas City Chiefs expect TE Tony Moeaki (knee), SS Eric Berry (knee) and RB Jamaal Charles (knee) to be ready to play this season, but the team will be cautious.

Updating a previous item, Carolina Panthers general manager Marty Hurney said WR David Gettis (hamstring) tweaked a hamstring and that is why he was placed on the Physically Unable to Perform list.

Hurney said he expects Gettis to come off the PUP list soon after training camp begins.
