Chiefs Training Camp Day 1 Highlights

The defending AFC Champions took to the grass for the first practice of training camp on Tuesday. All 90 players under contract showed up, including the newly-signed wide receiver Hal Presley. With his signing on Monday, the roster stands at 91, so there must be a corresponding move made in short order.

Head coach Andy Reid was able to share a message with his team assembled at Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph. He wanted them to squeeze every bit of knowledge out of every play during the training camp.

"The main thing is urgency. The urgency – keep that up. Everybody's expectations are high," Reid said on chiefs.com. "It comes down to the work that you take care of here, and the foundation that you build here."

The Chiefs practiced for almost an hour and a half, without pads, in what was the first of 17 practices at the university. It was a "ramp up" for the nearly two and a half hour practices, in full pads, that will commence in the near future.

"These are ramp up days," Reid said. "It's a gradual ramp up – not only the length of the practice, but also starting with [just] shells on, and then working from there."

This was the first of two practices that were exclusively open to season ticket members. There are additional benefits to being a season ticket member. One of them is being able to attend two practices open only to season ticket members. The second one is scheduled for Aug. 7. Further, on the first day of training camp, the season ticket members were treated to a pancake breakfast and a full-squad autograph session post-practice.

Quarterback Patrick Mahomes uncorked a deep ball down the field on the first play of 7-on-7 drills to Xavier Worthy. The crowd was fired up as the two made a big gain against the defense, which had tight coverage on the play.
