ST. JOSEPH, Mo. – Let the public overreaction and analyzing begin. The Chiefs on Friday night released the initial depth of training camp ahead of the Aug. 15 preseason game against the Arizona Cardinals. Keep in mind the depth chart is always fluid leading to the regular season. More importantly, there are plenty of battles yet to be settled with training …
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. – The sight of Chiefs rookie wide receiver Chris Conley wearing a baseball cap working with trainers on the sidelines has become routine at training camp. The 6-3, 205-pound Conley, the first of two third-round picks, hasn’t been on the field since suffering a knee injury on July 29. He has now missed eight total days of practice, …
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. – A single practice on any given day during a football season is but a snapshot that in the end helps make up what becomes a feature film of a team’s season. Making evaluations and assumptions from a single practice like the Chiefs training camp session on Friday morning at Missouri Western State University is foolhardy. But …
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. – The Chiefs added four players to the list of injured at training camp.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. – Third-year pro Marcus Cooper stood alone under the trees, the sweat flowing from his face following a training camp practice. While the shade offered an escape from the glaring sun, it didn’t prevent the inquiries the Chiefs cornerback knew awaited him. The 6-2, 192-pound Cooper could elect to ignore the questions surrounding a 2014 campaign that …
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. – The Chiefs no longer designate second-year pro De’Anthony Thomas as a running back/wide receiver on the roster, making his transformation to the latter complete. The first hint of the move arrived during organized team activities when Thomas worked exclusively with the wide receivers after working with running backs in 2014. And the experiences of working at …
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. – Chiefs running back Charcandrick West has been hard to miss through the early part of training camp with and without pads. That is, unless one happens to be on defense trying to slow down the second-year pro. The 5-10, 205-pound West picked up where he left off in organized team activities, displaying explosion through a hole …
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. – The Chiefs on Wednesday welcomed back three players to training camp practice. Cornerback Phillip Gaines, who left Tuesday’s practice with a knee injury, appeared to practice without limitations.
