The Kansas City Chiefs are looking to make their fourth straight Super Bowl appearance under the leadership of head coach Andy Reid.

Reid has been leading the Chiefs through their dynasty with quarterback Patrick Mahomes. The two have helped the organization earn three Super Bowl titles and five AFC titles in the past eight seasons.

As they look to make another run at the Super Bowl in Mahomes' ninth season with the team, all eyes are on the improvements that could be made within the roster.

On Thursday, Reid revealed some exciting news to fans.

According to NFL Network reporter Ian Rapoport, Andy Reid announced that Chiefs first-round pick Josh Simmons and wide receiver Rashee Rice are expected to be full participants at the start of training camp.

Rashee Rice has been working through a knee injury he has been rehabbing since his second season with the Kansas City Chiefs. Last season, Rice suffered a season-ending injury in Week 4 against the Los Angeles Chargers.

He finished the season playing four games for Kansas City, posting two touchdowns and 288 yards on 24 receptions.

The year prior, his rookie season with the Chiefs, Rice tallied seven touchdowns and 938 yards on 79 receptions.

The Kansas City Chiefs are also waiting on Josh Simmons, who has been dealing with a knee injury. He suffered a season-ending injury in his last college football season, playing for the national champion, Ohio State Buckeyes.

Simmons played for Ohio State from 2023 to 2024 after beginning his college football career at San Diego State.
