4 things we think we’ve learned this weekend from Chiefs training camp - Arrowhead Pride

What the report says

Arrowhead Pride reported that the Kansas City Chiefs opened training camp over the weekend with two practices limited to rookies, quarterbacks and selected veterans at Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph, Missouri. The full roster is scheduled to arrive Tuesday, with public practices beginning later. The site framed its observations as an early read based on local reporters present for the first sessions.

The most significant note was Patrick Mahomes’ participation. Arrowhead Pride said head coach Andy Reid had indicated the quarterback was fully cleared to begin camp, and Mahomes took part in individual and seven-on-seven work while wearing a brace. Reports cited by the outlet described Mahomes moving from under center, throwing on the run and completing several notable passes, including end-zone throws to Jimmy Holiday and Omari Evans.

Rookie cornerback Mansoor Delane, identified by the site as the Chiefs’ No. 6 draft pick, remains limited after a shoulder injury during offseason work and has been practicing in a non-contact jersey. Arrowhead Pride noted that Delane was beaten on at least one touchdown rep, but characterized his response as focused on learning rather than frustration. The outlet also highlighted the return of offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy, whose vocal coaching style was described as immediately noticeable.

At wide receiver, Cyrus Allen received early attention because several established receivers were not yet in camp. Arrowhead Pride said Allen made a contested end-zone catch from Mahomes and spent time with Reid working on pre-snap recognition. The early practices matter because they offer first clues on Mahomes’ health, Delane’s development and a possible competition for depth receiver roles, though evaluations could shift once full-team work begins.
