Four veterans missed the Kansas City Chiefs' training camp practice session on August 10 ahead of the team's preseason exhibition against the Los Angeles Rams.
Kansas City's defense was without cornerback L'Jarius Sneed, pass-rusher Omarr Norman-Lott, and linebacker Drue Tranquill. Pro Bowl lineman Trey Smith was the lone non-participant among the Chiefs' offensive starters.
Sneed and Norman-Lott are said to be dealing with knee injuries while Tranquill and Smith are on the mend with back and hip injuries, respectively.
Beat writer Matt Derrick of Chiefs Digest was the first reporter to break the news of the veterans' status in a post to his Twitter account on Monday morning:
Chiefs not practicing Monday; RG Trey Smith (hip), LB Drue Tranquill (back),
CB L’Jarius Sneed (knee) and DT Omarr Norman-Lott (PUP-knee)

While Kansas City's coaching staff isn't likely to give its starters much playing time in Week 1 of the preseason, any setbacks for Sneed, Norman-Lott, Tranquill, or Smith could have a major effect on the Chiefs' 2026 regular-season campaign, which will off next month.
