Andy Reid on injuries, Mahomes in preseason after Friday’s Chiefs camp

Key Points:

• The Kansas City Chiefs held their ninth full-team training camp practice at Missouri Western State University, with several players sidelined due to injuries including linebacker Jeffrey Bassa, defensive end Ashton Gillotte, and right guard Trey Smith, who is undergoing precautionary evaluation for a hip issue.
• Head coach Andy Reid emphasized that while the team has multiple injuries, all players are expected to recover, with some like cornerback L’Jarius Sneed and linebacker Drue Tranquill being managed carefully to avoid aggravating existing conditions.
• Several players, including cornerback Mansoor Delane and wide receiver Rashee Rice, participated partially in practice as they continue their recovery, while rookie wide receiver Cyrus Allen returned to padded practice but avoided contact drills as he is eased back into full participation.
• Patrick Mahomes is unlikely to play in the Chiefs' first preseason game on August 15 against the Los Angeles Rams, with Reid indicating a preference to give more reps to less experienced players behind Mahomes to help their development.
• The team is scheduled for one more padded practice on Saturday morning before taking a rest day on Sunday.
