As the Kansas City Chiefs came down the hill for their 14th training camp session at St. Joseph’s Missouri Western State University on Thursday morning, there was a welcome change: free agent cornerback Kristian Fulton was ready to practice for the first time.
The former Los Angeles Chargers corner had been on the team’s Active/PUP (physically-unable-to-perform) list since camp began, recovering from an offseason cleanup surgery on his knee.
Also returning to work was linebacker Drue Tranquill, who had missed four days with a strained back.
Four players were held out. Tight end Jake Briningstool (hamstring) missed his 10th straight day. Wide receiver Hollywood Brown (ankle) was out for his sixth practice. Wide receiver Rashee Rice (groin) and linebacker Cam Jones (illness) did not participate for the second time.
Shortly after practice began, defensive tackle Fabien Lovett was in the medical tent with what appeared to be an injury to his right foot or lower leg. He ended up returning to practice. Near the end of the practice, wide receiver Jason Brownlee was shaken up while going after a pass in the end zone. He returned to the field.
After the session concluded, head coach Andy Reid said that Lovett had “tweaked” his ankle. He also said that running back Brashard Smith had suffered a finger injury. Reid then said that Rice is suffering from a minor groin injury, adding that the team is keeping him out of practice “as a precaution.”
