Having him healthy and ready to go for the season will stabilize the offense and keep them grounded throughout the year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">The Chiefs had seven players sit out of practice in their first prep ahead of their second preseason contest against the Buccaneers at Arrowhead Stadium this weekend.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Aaron Donald is teasing a return after two years away from the field.
