The Kansas City Chiefs’ 2023 training camp provided a plethora of highlights for fans who were in attendance in St. Joseph, Missouri, or watched from afar on social media. The team wrapped up its workouts at Missouri Western State University on Thursday ahead of their preseason Week 2 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals on Saturday.
Head coach Andy Reid addressed the media after the final workout of camp and made it clear that the experience gained in the brutal summer heat would pay dividends for the Chiefs as they inch closer to the regular season.
“I just mentioned it to the team that you started this foundation, this is where it starts, you’re building this thing as it goes on,” Reid explained. “Every week is different, every day is different in this thing, but you have accomplished some things here that’s going to help carry you through the season in a positive way.
“Then, we take it one day at a time from there just like they did when they were up here, you had to focus in, you couldn’t say a month ago that we’re looking for this day right here or you’re not going to get any good work out of it. They figured it out day-by-day and crawled out of bed and got themselves mentally and physically ready to go and practiced hard.”
Reid will need his team to look more like they have in camp against the Cardinals on Saturday after Kansas City’s heartbreaking defeat last weekend against the New Orleans Saints.
