Wednesday’s Kansas City Chiefs training camp practice begins at 9:15 a.m. Arrowhead Time at Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph, Missouri.
Arrowhead Pride’s Pete Sweeney is there, along with other Chiefs beat reporters and TV crews. Here we’ll bring you the best of the practice updates on social media.
Yessir. It's been 16 months since NFL football felt anything close to normal. Today has felt... fantastic. https://t.co/EEtlkkjo1b

First full Chiefs practice in the books. We will soon be hearing from Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes, Joe Thuney and Clark Hunt.
— Matt Derrick (@mattderrick) July 28, 2021
The best linebacker today has been Willie Gay.
— Nate Taylor (@ByNateTaylor) July 28, 2021
Confirmed in 11 on 11. Also saw Baker at RCB in nickel. https://t.co/lGzFqU3irm

Chiefs OL from left to right during first full team drill this morning: Orlando Brown, Joe Thuney, rookie Creed Humphrey, rookie Trey Smith, Mike Remmers.
— Herbie Teope (@HerbieTeope) July 28, 2021
Willie Gay PBU count currently at 2 on the day — one in 7s, one in 11s
— Pete Sweeney (@pgsween) July 28, 2021
Chiefs in first full 11-on-11 team drills. Defense in nickel, Charvarius Ward and Mike Hughes outside and L’Jarius Sneed in the slot.
— Herbie Teope (@HerbieTeope) July 28, 2021
First 11-on-11 rep of #Chiefs camp? Chris Jones at RE.
— Pete Sweeney (@pgsween) July 28, 2021
Willie Gay just made an impressive pass breakup in shallow coverage. Excited about Willie this year.
— Matt McMullen (@KCChiefs_Matt) July 28, 2021
Timing already seems to be there between Patrick Mahomes and Mecole Hardman and then Demarcus Robinson. Back-to-back deep connections down the sidelines in 7s.
— Pete Sweeney (@pgsween) July 28, 2021
Mecole Hardman flashes on the first day of camp, beating Deandre Baker deep for a reception from Patrick Mahomes. pic.twitter.com/MZ1xftABNB

Must. Not. Over. React. https://t.co/eAab83NHBi

Shane Buechele gets the first shot at third-team reps behind Mahomes and Henne. Starts with a big connection to Cornell Powell, who makes a nice catch over Manny Patterson.
— Pete Sweeney (@pgsween) July 28, 2021
Mahomes just finished a 7 on 7 passing drill by going 5 of 7. His first pass of camp was a deep ball down sideline for Tyreek Hill but just overthrown. His completions went to 5 different receivers
— Adam Teicher (@adamteicher) July 28, 2021
Noah Gray getting some run with the 1s early.
— Sam McDowell (@SamMcDowell11) July 28, 2021
Second-team secondary includes Juan Thornhill, Rashad Fenton & Devon Key.
— Nate Taylor (@ByNateTaylor) July 28, 2021
Back-to-back great plays here at #ChiefsCamp. First, Demarcus Robinson made a tremendous leaping grab down the sideline, then just a snap later, Patrick Mahomes fired a sidearm dart around a defender to find Tyreek Hill over the middle.
— Matt McMullen (@KCChiefs_Matt) July 28, 2021
Football is BACK!
L’Jarius Sneed appears to be the Chiefs’ top nickel corner, with Charvarius Ward & Mike Hughes on the outside.
— Nate Taylor (@ByNateTaylor) July 28, 2021
Juan Thornhill hasn’t taken as many reps as Daniel Sorensen.
Chris Jones and Frank Clark have been swapping left and right defensive end with the ones during the installation period.
— Matt Derrick (@mattderrick) July 28, 2021
Spags loves him some Ben Niemann. https://t.co/Uua8z7grjl
— Stephen Serda (@StephenSerda) July 28, 2021
Chris Jones is doing reps as the left defensive end, meaning he would match up against the right tackle.
— Nate Taylor (@ByNateTaylor) July 28, 2021
Niang, Swing tackle https://t.co/yeQWvB2TN5
— Matt Stagner (@stagdsp) July 28, 2021
Noah Gray did a couple reps with Patrick Mahomes — & he moved a little bit too before the snap. That’s a good sign.
— Nate Taylor (@ByNateTaylor) July 28, 2021
I can also see plenty of communication between Mahomes and Creed Humphrey.
Twos, left to right: Niang, Allegretti, Blythe, LDT, Wylie https://t.co/hIpLNftQcn
— Pete Sweeney (@pgsween) July 28, 2021
First 3 linebackers: Anthony Hitchens, Willie Gay & Ben Niemann.
— Nate Taylor (@ByNateTaylor) July 28, 2021
This tracks. Chiefs did a hell of a job fixing the OL. https://t.co/v5DkA6nmsq
— Geoff Schwartz (@geoffschwartz) July 28, 2021
First team OL from left to right as Chiefs begin camp: Brown, Thuney, Humphrey, Trey Smith, Remmers. So they're sticking with Smith at RG over Duvernay-Tardif for now at leaat
— Adam Teicher (@adamteicher) July 28, 2021
At the start of the individual period, Chris Jones is with the rest of the defensive ends.
— Nate Taylor (@ByNateTaylor) July 28, 2021
We’ll see if it lasts when team sessions begin, but my initial look sees Ward at LCB, Sneed at RCB, with Hughes entering at RCB and Sneed kicking in for nickel looks. #Chiefs
— Pete Sweeney (@pgsween) July 28, 2021
I am enjoying all the training camp tweets. Football is back

And speaking of flag on the play, the zebras are here for today’s practice, if you can see through my slightly obstructed view. pic.twitter.com/6twMAYekrZ
— Matt Derrick (@mattderrick) July 28, 2021
For those who are curious about this (just @3guysinagarage who won’t stop texting me), looks like Creed Humphrey will be snapping with his left hand.
— Pete Sweeney (@pgsween) July 28, 2021
New Chiefs long snapper Drew Scott wearing No. 47. DE Alex Okafor indeed wearing No. 97.
— Matt Derrick (@mattderrick) July 28, 2021
Haven’t seen RB Darwin Thompson this morning nor James Winchester (COVID-19 reserve). At practice but not working are OL Kyle Long, TE Nick Keizer, S Armani Watts and DE Malik Herring.

It’s a hot one, but the Chiefs are about to start their 1st full-team practice.
— Nate Taylor (@ByNateTaylor) July 28, 2021
Frank Clark & Tyrann Mathieu are with their teammates. pic.twitter.com/vtC8wnG3OG
Creed Humphrey has first snaps to 15. Read into it what you will. #ChiefsKingdom #Chiefs

Frank Clark is indeed on hand for the first full-team #Chiefs practice of training camp. Already threw a piece of his equipment to the fans.
— Pete Sweeney (@pgsween) July 28, 2021
1st practice... let's get it!!!
