Chiefs linebacker Ethan Downs exits first training camp practice with injury

Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Ethan Downs was knocked out of training camp practice on July 25 due to an unspecified injury. This incident occurred during the team's first session of the 2026 training camp, where temperatures neared 100 degrees. Downs, who was hoping to secure a roster spot after a strong late-season performance in 2025, is considered an 'under-the-radar' player by team analysts. It remains unclear how long he will be sidelined, but any extended absence could hinder his chances of making the final roster. The Chiefs began training camp with rookies and quarterbacks reporting, alongside veteran players like Patrick Mahomes.
