For the Kansas City Chiefs’ ninth training camp session at Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph on Friday morning — a padded practice after Thursday’s day off — a total of five players were held out.
Wide receivers Hollywood Brown (ankle) and Skyy Moore (hamstring), tight end Jake Briningstool, safety Deon Bush (hamstring) and cornerback Kristian Fulton (knee) all missed another day of workouts with their teammates.
But wide receiver Xavier Worthy (concussion), right tackle Jawaan Taylor
(knee) and linebacker Jeff Bassa (ankle) — all of whom missed Wednesday’s light 10-10-10 practice — were back at work.
Brown and Moore were both injured in Tuesday’s practice. They have now missed two full days. Briningstool has now been out for five days, while Bush has now missed three. Fulton — still on the team’s Active/PUP (physically-unable-to-perform) list — has missed all of the training camp workouts.
On Tuesday, Worthy landed on his head after going to the ground awkwardly. While he returned to practice after time in the injury tent, he missed Wednesday’s session. At that time, the team said he was in the concussion protocol. But after Friday’s practice, head coach Andy Reid said that Worthy never had a concussion. Instead, further testing revealed that he had some liquid in his ear.
The team said that two other players who missed Wednesday’s session — cornerbacks Darius Rush and Eric Scott — have been waived with injury designations. If they clear waivers, they will be placed on the team’s Reserve/Injured list.
During practice, linebacker Drue Tranquill was shaken up after a running play during a team period. He walked to the sideline and took a knee, but ultimately went back to the locker room in the front seat of a cart. After practice, Reid said that Tranquill had strained his back, referring to it as “almost a non-contact injury.”
