Chiefs battle injury bug as camp enters 2nd week

Local Sports NFL

The Kansas City Chiefs saw All-Pro tight end Travis Kelce return to practice on Monday, after missing a couple of days of practice dealing with hip and back tightness.  Also returning to the fields at Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph was special-teams ace and safety Armani Watts, after a placement on the PUP (Physically Unable to Perform) list seven days earlier.  Also returning on Monday was reserve running back Darwin Thompson, after a recent stay on the team’s COVID-19  list.

Offensive line continuity continues to be a struggle for Kansas City, as veteran Mike Remmers remains out with back spasms.

Meanwhile, free safety Juan Thornhill and wide receiver Chad Williams both have groin injuries while tight end Evan Baylis continues recovery from an ankle injury.
