Defensive end Ashton Gillotte was the only player with a status to share.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">\u201cWe had one injury with Gillotte; he had a strained hamstring,\u201d Reid told reporters. \u201cSo we\u2019re just checking that out, got him out of there, and he\u2019ll start his rehab and MRI and all that stuff. [I] don\u2019t think it\u2019s too bad.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">While observing practice, Arrowhead Pride noticed undrafted rookie wideout Omari Evans staying down after attempting to catch a pass on the sideline from third-team quarterback Garrett Nussmeier. Evans was attended to, but got up quickly; he might\u2019ve gotten the wind knocked out of him. Reid did not comment on Evans.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Wide receiver Rashee Rice and cornerback L\u2019Jarius Sneed continued the same routine the two have had for the first week of full-team practices: start off on the field, then leave for planned rehabilitation during the team\u2019s work in team periods.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">\u201cWe\u2019re just building them up,\u201d Reid said. \u201cWe know it\u2019s going to take a little bit of time, they haven\u2019t much on the conditioning part of it and rehab part of it. We know they can play; we want to be smart getting them there and how we go about that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">This clip of Rice running a downfield route on air shows he has work to do before he is 100% physically recovered and can play the full-time role the Chiefs\u2019 offense is accustomed to.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Defensive tackle Omarr Norman-Lott continued to work off to the side during the Chiefs\u2019 practice as he stays on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Another note from Reid\u2019s opening statement: the Chiefs are still in a ramp-up or \u201cacclimation\u201d period of training camp through Saturday\u2019s practice. The full pads won\u2019t be donned until Monday, after the team gets a rest day on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Saturday\u2019s practice will begin at 9:15 a.m. Arrowhead time and will run roughly two hours, according to Reid.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After Friday\u2019s training camp practice, the third full-team session of the preseason for the Kansas City Chiefs, head&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":797218,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[15977,24538,349,99],"class_list":["post-797217","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-kansas-city-chiefs-news","tag-kansas-city-chiefs-training-camp","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/797217","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=797217"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/797217\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/797218"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=797217"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=797217"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=797217"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
