"I appreciate the way the players practiced this camp," coach Andy Reid said. "They came in, they attacked it, they came in great shape, and then they attacked. We were able to keep the injuries at a minimum, which always a concern. We were able to get a lot of good work done with them."

Now, the question become whether the Chiefs will ever return to St. Joseph. This was the final year of a five-year contract to take training camp roughly an hour's drive north of Arrowhead Stadium. Previously, the Chiefs held training camp in Wisconsin, and the trend in the NFL has been to move camp to the team facility on a permanent basis.

The Chiefs know what they have with quarterback Alex Smith, running back Jamaal Charles, defensive tackle Dontari Poe, strong safety Eric Berry and arguably the deepest linebacker corps in the league, among other established players.

Rookie De’Anthony Thomas looks like he can be another big-play threat besides Jamaal Charles.

When Alex Smith showed up for Kansas City Chiefs training camp, quarterbacks coach Matt Nagy had a piece of advice for him. "Let’s let the ball rip a little bit,’’ Nagy told Smith. "It’s practice. Let’s see what we can get away with and what we can’t get away with so when the games come we know where we’re at.’’ The Chiefs are trying to get more big offensive plays than they did last year and a reprogramming of Smith is part of the effort.
