Everything that went down during Kansas City’s third organized team activity session of 2025.

On Thursday, the Kansas City Chiefs conducted their third organized team activity (OTA) session of the 2025 season at their practice facility on the grounds of the Truman Sports Complex in Kansas City.

This was the first OTA practice open to the media. There will be seven more: Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week, followed by four more in the following week. Arrowhead Pride editor-in-chief Pete Sweeney was there. He posted some observations on social media — starting with an overcast (but comfortable) day.

As always at these voluntary practices, there were some no-shows.

Head coach Andy Reid offered some details.

Three other players were not full participants in Thursday’s practice.

A rookie caught Pete’s eye in the early going.

A late addition to last season’s practice squad got some work...

...as did a player who hopes to do more than return kicks in 2025.

Then it was on to the red zone.

The team’s star cornerback made a big play.

There were excellent offensive plays from an experienced veteran — and a second-year player, too.

The exciting rookie wideout got in on the action.

It was all in a day’s work for the two-time MVP.

Pete also shot some video.

After taking the weekend off, the Chiefs will get back to work next week. Monday and Tuesday’s practices will be closed. Reporters will be able to observe Wednesday’s session, allowing Pete to file more observations.
