Another defensive player who stood out on Monday was cornerback Chris Roland-Wallace, who tallied a diving pass-breakup during 7-on-7 drills. Cornerback Nazeeh Johnson also made a noteworthy play during the 7-on-7 period with a pass-breakup down the sideline.
During 11-on-11 drills, defensive end Charles Omenihu – while maybe not as obvious – made one of the morning’s top plays when he exploded out of his stance and blew up a running play in the red zone.
4. The Chiefs worked on a “backed-up punt” situation during practice.
The Chiefs work on various specific situations during every practice in order to be ready for any and all scenarios that may present themselves over the course of a long football season. One of those situations on Monday was a “backed-up punt” scenario in which the Chiefs’ punter – either Matt Araiza or Eddie Czaplicki – handled the snap on a short field in the shadow of the goal post.
If the Chiefs face a backed-up punt situation at some point during the year, just remember that they practiced it on July 28.
5. Here’s a look at Monday’s injury report.
There was one addition to the injury report on Monday as cornerback Darius Rush missed practice due to a hamstring injury. Rush joined tight end Jake Briningstool (hamstring) and cornerback Kristian Fulton (knee) as those who did not take the field on Monday.
In some good news, rookie defensive tackle Omarr Norman-Lott, who briefly exited Sunday’s practice due to an ankle injury before returning, was out there participating on Monday.
Next up, the Chiefs will take the field on Tuesday for the seventh practice of training camp. For a look at the training camp schedule or for more information on how to reserve tickets, click here.
