Kansas City, Mo. — Chiefs safety Jarrad Page has practiced for the first time all week, but left tackle Brandon Albert was held out another day and may not be ready for Kansas City’s game at the Washington Redskins.

Albert has been wearing a boot on his left ankle since he was hurt in the second half of last week’s loss to Dallas.

Albert was replaced in the Dallas game by Wade Smith, a journeyman backup.
