Andy Reid welcomes return of rookie camp for Chiefs in St. Joseph

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid expressed satisfaction with the return of the rookie camp portion at Missouri Western State University, starting on July 25, 2026. This marks a change from 2025, when Reid opted for rookies and veterans to report together. The current roster features nearly a third of rookies, prompting Reid to affirm the need for additional focused work with the younger players. Reid noted that the setting allows for more tailored instruction on offense, defense, and special teams, benefiting players before veterans join the practice. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes reported early and is cleared to practice as he continues to recover from knee injuries.
