The Kansas City Chiefs were back at practice bright and early on Monday. With each passing day, there has been new injury news, both good and bad.
First, the good news. The Chiefs saw both defensive linemen Devaroe Lawrence and Derrick Nnadi return to practice. Lawrence had an excused absence from practice, while Nnadi was still nursing his ankle after offseason ankle surgery.
Additionally, rookie RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire was much more active in practice, returning to the starting lineup after being limited on Sunday due to dehydration.
As for the bad injury news, the Chiefs were already dangerously thin at the tight end position, with TE Deon Yelder dealing with a groin injury. Now, free-agent acquisition Ricky Seals-Jones suffered an injury to his right leg during practice. According to The Athletic’s Nate Taylor, it occurred during a special teams period and Seals-Jones was taken away to the locker room on a cart. That’s never a good sign when the cart has to come out at training camp.
The Chiefs did claim TE Daniel Helm off of the waiver wire on Sunday, so they should still have three tight ends available moving forward. They could still look to add another depending on the severity of Seals-Jones’ injury.
