A locker-room fight between veteran Chiefs running back Thomas Jones and first-round draft pick Jonathan Baldwin has left the rookie receiver doubtful for the rest of the preseason with a wrist injury, a team source confirmed Friday to ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
Chosen 26th overall, Baldwin started 27 games forPittsburgh.
The 6-foot-4, 230-pounder averaged 18.31 yards per catch and finished ranked eighth all-time at Pitt with 2,325 yards receiving and 127 receptions.
Jones is entering his second season with the Chiefs.
After a career-high 1,402 yards in 2009 with the New York Jets, Jones served as Kansas City’s No. 2 back last season, posting 896 rushing yards, while Jamaal Charles led the Chiefs with 1,467.

FROM Aaron Wilson of Scout.com:
The details of the fight are unclear, but Baldwin didn’t practice Wednesday.
According to reports, Baldwin hasn’t fit in with the team so far after being drafted out of Pitt. “He’s as advertised,†a source told 610 Radio “Diva, spoiled, doesn’t wanna listen. Can run a Go and a Slant, and doesn’t wanna work.â€
A message to Baldwin’s agent, Rick Smith, wasn’t immediately returned.
