KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - After a day of no practice on Sunday, the Kansas City Chiefs hit the Missouri Western State University practice fields on Monday in pads, a first for this year’s training camp.
The Chiefs avoided disaster on Saturday after two of their receivers suffered injuries. Third-year wideout Xavier Worthy left practice with a shoulder injury, while fifth-round draft pick and early training camp darling Cyrus Allen was carted off the field after a collision on a special teams drill.
Worthy was expected to be OK, and Allen suffered a shin bruise.

One of the big reasons that the Kansas City offense struggled amid a frustrating 6-11 finish last season was the wide receivers, who were unable to provide Patrick Mahomes much help. Rashee Rice was their leader at the position, but he only played in eight games because of injuries and suspension, catching 53 passes for 571 yards and five touchdowns.
Marquise Brown, their No. 2 wide receiver a year ago, signed with the Eagles in free agency.
