There were no new injuries to report as Kansas City’s training camp began on Tuesday morning.
As the Kansas City Chiefs opened their training camp at Missouri Western University on Tuesday morning, just three players were not participating in practice: right tackle Jawaan Taylor, cornerback Kristian Fulton and tight end Tre Watson.
Our Pete Sweeney noted this was not unexpected. On Sunday, head coach Andy Reid announced all three would begin training camp on the team’s Active/PUP (physically-unable-to-perform) list.
As we reported on Sunday, they all missed time during Kansas City’s offseason program. The Chiefs have confirmed that Fulton and Taylor are currently recovering from knee injuries. Both were present for Tuesday’s practice, but spent their time working with trainers.
There was some other good injury news: It looks like the team’s first-round draft pick Josh Simmons is fully recovered from the patellar tendon injury he suffered while playing for Ohio State last October, since he began Tuesday’s practice as the left tackle on the starting offensive line. Newly-signed free agent tackle Jaylon Moore was in Taylor’s spot as the starting right tackle — while on defense, Jaylen Watson played as an outside cornerback across from Trent McDuffie in the starting group.
