Chiefs focus on discipline at training camp following penalties in preseason opener

The Kansas City Chiefs conducted their 15th training camp practice on August 17, 2026, aiming to address issues identified in their preseason opener, which ended in a penalty-filled 20-12 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Head coach Andy Reid emphasized the need for improved discipline after the Chiefs were penalized 12 times, primarily for illegal procedures and holding calls. Offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy intensified coaching efforts during practice, specifically calling for greater effort and focus from players like wide receiver Rashee Rice. The coaching staff is also testing versatility among linemen, with Jaylon Moore and rookie Kahlil Benson being cross-trained at different positions. Running back Emmett Johnson has emerged as a solid second option in drills after a strong showing in practice.
