Two gamers rode a cart as much as the locker room — in every case, using within the entrance seat.
The Chiefs had two accidents throughout the exercise, with WR Justin Watson struggling a foot harm. Watson initially wanted assist off the sphere after which might stroll beneath his personal energy. CB Nazeeh Johnson injured his proper knee and was within the medical tent as apply concluded.

Johnson was injured on a day he was taking part in with the primary workforce.
CB watch: The highest workforce on this look noticed McDuffie and Johnson exterior at cornerback, with Chamarri Conner inside. The second workforce had Joseph and Williams exterior, with Nic Jones inside.
A real disgrace Johnson went down late as a result of I assumed he was having a wonderful apply.

Williams on the cornerback competitors: “I am approaching it like I would like it. I noticed they do, too. They’re nice athletes, they’re nice opponents. They’re all professionals. I am positive we’re all attacking the identical manner, however 100%. I would like it. I’ll do every part I must do to…

Quarterback Patrick Mahomes as soon as once more began scorching.
The Chiefs started apply with a blitz interval that noticed Patrick Mahomes full 5 of 6 passes. It regarded to me like Drue Tranquill knocked down a go that could not discover its option to the goal. Cole Christiansen broke up a go (Oladokun), and DJ Miller had a decide (E book).
— Pete Sweeney (@pgsween) July 24, 2024
He accomplished passes to a few gamers who must register some camp catches.
Mahomes started a late 11-on-11 interval with a deep go down the left sideline to Nikko Remigio. Remigio acknowledged it was a very good catch as he spun the ball in celebration.
Mahomes had a pleasant look out of construction as he rolled to his left and flicked the ball to Skyy Moore.

It wasn’t fairly just like the Hatfields and McCoys (or the Chiefs and Raiders), however some feuds started.
First indicators of some chippiness got here on Wednesday, with Kadarius Toney taking some exception to George Karlaftis thumping him after a catch. Toney fired a ball Karlaftis’ manner, and there was a gaggle assembly earlier than the workforce rapidly carried alongside.
— Pete Sweeney (@pgsween) July 24, 2024
Later, Jared Wiley caught a go down the appropriate sideline from Mahomes and held the ball out in celebration. Tranquill did not love this, and he knocked it of his fingers as he pointed that Wiley was out of bounds. Some good fireplace within the warmth.
— Pete Sweeney (@pgsween) July 24, 2024
Mahomes giveth… and generally, the protection taketh away.
Throughout 7-on-7, Mahomes accomplished a deep go to Rashee Rice deep down the left sideline amid a pair defenders. Johnson broke up a go a few performs later.
Joseph dropped what ought to have been a decide on a Carson Wentz go supposed for Skyy Moore.
— Pete Sweeney (@pgsween) July 24, 2024
Pete as soon as once more got here away impressed with backup quarterback Carson Wentz.
I discussed within the final thread how I have been impressed with Wentz. He related on a deep go to Montrell Washington because the apply was winding down. No disrespect to Chiefs legends Matt Moore and Chad Henne, however Wentz may very well be the perfect backup Mahomes has had.
— Pete Sweeney (@pgsween) July 24, 2024
Wanya Morris and Kingsley Suamataia went again to a rotation.
Offensive line watch continued. On this look, Wanya Morris and Kingsley Suamataia rotated first and second-team LT reps. Morris would get the primary three performs earlier than the 2 swapped, then would swap again throughout second-team work. Rookie Hunter Nourzad received a have a look at LG.

Offensive coordinator Matt Nagy on left deal with: “When the pads come on (Friday), you bought to have the ability to bodily do your project, but in addition, you bought to have just a little nasty, too.

— Pete Sweeney (@pgsween) July 24, 2024
Dave Toub’s unit received some work.
Dave Toub ran a punt-return session, and it regarded to me like Hardman and Remigio are among the many candidates for returners there. Had Worthy been out there, I believe he would have been with them.
Williams and Johnson have been prime gunners, with Kamal Hadden and Ekow Boye-Doe subsequent.
— Pete Sweeney (@pgsween) July 24, 2024
