Five observations from Monday’s practice

The Kansas City Chiefs were back in training Monday morning after Saturday’s pre-season win over San Francisco as training camp continued at Missouri Western State University.

As for those who didn’t participate, linebacker Riley Cole (sprained ankle) and fullback Elijah McGuire (sprained ankle) – who each suffered injuries on Saturday – joined wide receiver Antonio Callaway (bruise), offensive guard Laurent Duvernay-Tardif (hand), tight end Evan Baylis (ankle), defensive end Malik Herring (knee) and offensive lineman Kyle Long (leg) like those who don’t have not taken the field.

Linebacker Darius Harris (finger) and wide receiver Marcus Kemp (shoulder), who also left Saturday’s game with injuries, each took part in practice on Monday. In addition, offensive tackle Mike Remmers (back), linebacker Willie Gay Jr. (concussion protocol), defensive end Alex Okafor (hamstring), defensive tackle Derrick Nnadi (hip) and defensive end Taco Charlton – who haven’t all played against San Francisco – each took the field Monday morning.

Here are five observations from Monday’s practice.

1. Travis Kelce made a superb contested hold on the sideline.

Kelce made one of the most impressive catches of the day when he came up and managed a pass from quarterback Patrick Mahomes on the sideline during team drills. Kelce – who stepped on his blanket – jumped for the ball and caught the pass over his defender before falling to the ground, completing the reception for a big gain in the field.

The veteran tight end is one of the best pass catchers in the game, and while we’re used to seeing Kelce make plays worthy of the best moments every week, it’s always fun to see him up close and in person. at the camp.
