What I saw at Chiefs minicamp | The Athletic
Here are a few other notes from Tuesday’s practice open to reporters:
• Quarterback Patrick Mahomes continued to participate in seven-on-seven drills but not with full-team run-throughs. That’s similar to the over the last two weeks during organized team activities.
Mahomes is roughly six months removed from surgery to repair a torn ACL and LCL he suffered in his left knee. He has stated multiple times this offseason that his personal goal is to return to play Week 1 against the Broncos.
• Rookie cornerback Mansoor Delane had no helmet and did not participate in practice Tuesday, which oftentimes signals an injury. Chiefs coach Andy Reid is set to talk to reporters again Thursday.
• Undrafted free agent right tackle Kahlil Benson was a practice standout, with Chiefs coaches appearing to be high on him. Benson started for national champion Indiana last season and signed with the Chiefs after impressing as a tryout player during rookie minicamp in April. Veteran Jaylon Moore and second-year player Esa Pole return as the top candidates for the starting right tackle job.
Chiefs trying out two tight ends | NFL Trade Rumors
According to Matt Derrick, the Chiefs are hosting TEs Kenny Yeboah and Mason Pline for tryouts during their minicamp this week.
Yeboah, 27, went undrafted out of Ole Miss back in 2021 before catching on with the Jets. He was waived coming out of the preseason and re-signed to the practice squad before later being promoted to the active roster.
Once-Questioned 2024 NFL Draft Prospects Proving Doubters Wrong at OTAs | SI
Xavier Worthy, WR, Kansas City Chiefs
The Kansas City Chiefs are without No. 1 wide receiver Rashee Rice at OTAs due to yet another off-field legal situation. That’s created some opportunity for other wideouts on the roster. For a Chiefs team trying to recapture postseason contention in 2026, third-year receiver Xavier Worthy has been among the offseason standouts.
Worthy has made various eye-opening plays at practice, per local beat reporter Nick Jacobs. Worthy has been more gadget-weapon than every-down receiver for the Chiefs through two seasons, and his sophomore campaign was a disappointment. Perhaps a breakout is coming.
According to the NFL’s daily personnel notice for Tuesday, the Chiefs waived UDFA DB Marlen Sewell to make room on the 90-man offseason roster for the reunion with L’Jarius Sneed. The move keeps Kansas City at 19 defensive backs (12 cornerbacks and 7 safeties).
A team captain for Vandy, Sewell appeared in 45 career games in college. He recorded 101 total tackles, three passes defended, a half-sack, and one forced fumble, primarily making his mark on special teams.
The Chiefs won’t hesitate to...
