ST. JOSEPH, Mo. – Not even a brief summer rain shower could deter the approximately 6,200 Chiefs fans who turned out for the first weekend practice of training camp. Another standing-room only crowd was treated to a lively practice. Saturday was the team’s first day in full pads, and the team spent much of the day in 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 drills to the fans’ …
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. – Blame it on the humidity or the first practice in full pads, but the Chiefs third training camp practice seemed to lack the precision of the first two days. The defense appeared to win the day, with a few fumbles, a couple of interceptions and a lot of dropped balls hitting the turf in St. Joseph. After …
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. – The Chiefs’ ground attack is obviously established with running back Jamaal Charles. But the team is also comfortable with what second-year pro Knile Davis, who suffered a fractured fibula in the playoffs, brings to the offense. “The one that thing he did was he worked extremely hard to get himself healthy again during this offseason because …
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. – Whether Chiefs outside linebacker Justin Houston desires to be in training camp remains to be seen.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. – And then there were two.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. – The Chiefs first day of training camp was likely just what head coach Andy Reid wanted: highly organized, relatively injury free and largely uneventful. There was no question who the fans were most excited to see. Running back Jamaal Charles, fresh from signing a new contract extension on Wednesday, drew the loudest cheers from the standing-room …
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. – Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles is en route to training camp, after all. Charles, who wasn’t present during the open media period when veterans arrived Wednesday, agreed to a two-year contract extension with the Chiefs, a source confirmed with ChiefsSpin.com. The extension locks up Charles through the 2017 regular season. While the source did not disclose …
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. – Chiefs veterans arrived early Wednesday afternoon in a steady stream for training camp. While it’s reasonable to expect the late-summer grind in sweltering heat to temper enthusiasm, the players, for the most part, had smiles on their faces as they returned to work. “It’s good to be back,” ninth-year outside linebacker Tamba Hali said as he …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Amid a Tuesday evening report of a possible Jamaal Charles holdout, the Chiefs expect two-time All-Pro running back to report Wednesday when veterans arrive for training camp. The team’s stance comes shortly after KCTV5 broke the news of Charles holding out due to his current contract, which expires after the 2015 season. Charles has two years …
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. – The Chiefs’ 2013 first-round draft pick (No. 1 overall) had a simple message following Tuesday morning’s training camp practice. “I’m ready to go,” left tackle Eric Fisher said. “I’m out here working and that’s all that matters.” Fisher was previously limited to individual position drills during organized team activities (OTAs) and mandatory minicamp after offseason shoulder and …
