Veterans haven't reported yet.

Just Rookies, Gimps, and QB's so far.

Chiefs’ Dee Ford ready to play in ‘Pass-Rush City’

Quote:

Chiefs first-round draft choice Dee Ford understands the legacy he’s expected to uphold as an outside linebacker.

“I think about it all the time,” Ford said of teaming with veterans Tamba Hali and Justin Houston and following in the footsteps of club career-sack leaders Derrick Thomas, Neil Smith, Art Still and Jared Allen.

“This is Pass-Rush City. I’m very excited. It’s going to be very fun. I can’t wait to see (Hali and Houston). I’m going to give them a big hug when I see them — all of them.”

Before the veterans report Wednesday, Ford has spent the rookie sessions refining what he learned during organized team activities and minicamp.

“I’m feeling great, getting back into the groove for when the vets come,” said Ford, who had 10 1/2 sacks last year at Auburn. “It’s really a great opportunity to get some extra reps before the vets get here. That way the transition won’t be so hard. It’s going to be faster and anytime I can catch up on some installs, it’s great.

“This is definitely a different league. This is the NFL, so practice is challenging, but you also want to challenge yourself. I had two things I wanted to work on (Tuesday) which were my leverages and a little bit of things in coverage and not really rushing the passer as much right now, just getting more savvy in coverage.”

Injury update

The Chiefs had 35 players participating in Tuesday’s practice. Rookie fullback James Baker missed his second day for personal reasons, and rookie DeRon Furr also was absent due to a back injury.

LDT is gonna take Jeff Allen's job this year just watch

Based on last year, someone needs to but I doubt its LDT. Hope you're right even if you were just being sarcastic. That whole left side of the OL looks like a potential disaster. YIKES!!!

On that front we can hope for one of two things.

Either LDT can take that job and make it his own, or that Allen came away from LeCharles Bentley's OL school finally ready to pay to his potential.

Phillip Gaines has a hamstring injury. #Chiefs

Man, this training camp has been freaking awesome so far!!!

At least it doesn't appear to be one of those "Jon Baldwin getting our hopes up just to eventually have them shattered" types of preseasons. Just gonna be rammed in the ass from the start, I guess. This place is going to be cheery as hell this year. I can sense it.
