Looks like Kurt Warner is going to start Saturday at Kansas City.
Coach Ken Whisenhunt wants Warner to get some time with the starters, and the best way to assure that is to put him in at the start.
“I’m thinking about starting him in the game so we can control the reps. You don’t know how that’s going to play out,” Whisenhunt said.
Whisenhunt also said that defensive tackle Darnell Dockett has a mild pectoral strain and will sit out. “But I don’t think it’s anything that’s very serious.”
He may be out a week or so.
Also sitting out will be safety Antrel Rolle with a sore foot. Rookie receiver Early Doucet is doubtful with a hamstring injury. Cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, who has a sore ankle, seems likely to play….
Last night’s practice at old Lumberjack Stadium had a couple skirmishes.
Linebacker/defensive end Travis Laboy put a hit on quarterback Bryan St. Pierre, which is a no-no in practice.
“I don’t have a clue” what happened, said St. Pierre, who said he hadn’t been hit in practice since high school.
Whisenhunt, who scolded Laboy after the incident, said, “You have to control your emotions…that’s what the talk was more about.”
Also, in a goal-line competition between the offense and defense, Adrian Wilson hit running back Tim Hightower to try to prevent a score and ended up in an altercation with tackle Levi Brown.
It’s a tricky situation. The defense doesn’t tackle in practice, so these goal-line competitions can become wrestling matches.
Whisenhunt said such incidents are normal as training camp wears on. “I hope we can focus our energy on our opponents,” he said…

I will not be at Kansas City, so the next report will be Monday from Flagstaff.
