Chiefs' Tamba Hali: Does not practice Thursday

Hali (hand) did not practice Thursday.

Analysis:

Hali missed a second straight day of practice on Thursday due to an undisclosed hand injury. The veteran linebacker missed practice time last week due to a knee aliment, but ultimately played through the injury in Week 3. The same routine could be in place this week, although some form of participation in Friday's practice would be a crucial step in assuring Hali's status for Sunday. In any case, Frank Zombo will be ready to play in Hali's absence, should he be ruled out for Week 4.
