"Chiefs wide receiver Dwayne Bowe returned to practice Wednesday and worked with the first-team offense, picking up where he left off before a four-week suspension for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances.

Bowe wouldn't answer reporters' questions after the workout, instead saying that he'd have something to say after Kansas City's home finale Sunday against Cleveland.

Coach Todd Haley said that Bowe, who reported to the team's offseason conditioning program last spring about 30 pounds over his target weight, maintained his fitness during his four weeks away from Chiefs headquarters. Haley said he spoke with Bowe before the suspension but the team couldn't be in contact with him during his punishment.

"Dwayne looked like he did a good job while he was away keeping himself in condition," Haley said. "Really would have liked to have seen where he would have been had he been here the last four weeks because he was making so much progress leading up to the suspension.

"It was really important that Dwayne worked real hard while he was away. That sometimes is hard to do when you're on your own and you're not able to practice football. But Dwayne was a breath of fresh air out there.""
