Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid has revealed that he is pleased with the squad he has at his disposal.
There have been concerns about the absence of offensive tackle Branden Albert, but Reid said that the likes of Donald Stephenson are perfectly capable alternatives.
"Branden is a good player, but we're fortunate to have good backups here that we consider as starters," he told the club's official website.
"They've started enough games here that we feel comfortable saying that. Donald is one of those. He's had a good week of practice and prepared himself to play against a great player. I know he looks forward to that challenge."
The Chiefs take on the Washington Redskins on Sunday.
