The Kansas City Chiefs were back at training camp for practice on Monday.
Here is the full list of players that didn’t practice today:
- DE Alex Okafor (Calf)
- DE Mike Danna (Calf)
- DT Derrick Nnadi (Rest)
- DT Braxton Hoyett (Shoulder)
- DB Armani Watts (Illness)
- LG Kelechi Osemele (Shoulder)
- WR Maurice Ffrench (Knee)
- TE Deon Yelder (Groin)
- OT Martinas Rankin (PUP)
Starting with the good news, the Kansas City Chiefs welcomed starting WR Tyreek Hill and starting LB Damien Wilson back to practice on Monday. Wilson had been dealing with an ankle injury and Hill a hamstring injury. Both players didn’t participate in team drills. That’d suggest they’re both being eased back into practice as to not reaggravate their respective injuries.
Tyreek Hill was back to practice today though he did no teamwork. Still, it was the first time Hill and Sammy Watkins did at least some work in the same practice since early in camp. pic.twitter.com/zHqrkPtSkv

After Andy Reid had no new injuries to report on Sunday, a number of new names popped up on the injury report on Monday. That group includes starting defensive tackle Derrick Nnadi and the player who’d been starting at left guard, Kelechi Osemele. Nnadi is simply receiving a rest day in return from offseason ankle surgery.
Osemele was also back off from practice, dealing with a shoulder injury. Keep in mind, Osemele had surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder last season with the New York Jets. It’s not clear if he’s aggravated that specific injury, but it’s something to monitor.
There were three new injuries during the course of practice. WR Gehrig Dieter suffered a groin injury during practice. LB Emmanuel Smith suffered a hamstring injury. Undrafted free agent OT Yasir Durant suffered a head injury but walked off under his own power according to The Athletic’s Nate Taylor. He’s being evaluated, likely for a concussion.
