Chiefs practice report: Wrapping up at St. Joe’s
The Kansas City Chiefs are wrapping up their time at St. Joe’s.
After more than two weeks in the brutal heat of St. Joe’s, Mo., the Kansas City Chiefs are heading out onto the field for their final practice. Kansas City will not hold a practice on Friday before playing the Los Angeles Rams on Saturday at the L.A. Coliseum.
Before we get to that, we need to touch on a huge development. After missing practice on Wednesday with a groin injury, wide receiver Jeremy Maclin is back on the field in full pads. We also see running back Jamaal Charles on the field for the third straight day, something that is always a beautiful sight.
To this point, the only players still missing are Tamba Hali, Justin Houston and Eric Berry. of course, those are three All-Pro players, so it’s a trio of players that Kansas City needs back. Berry and Hali are expected to be there Week 1, while Houston remains a massive question mark.
Here is all the news in real time:
After missing practice yesterday (groin), WR Jeremy Maclin is back on the field today.

Derrick Johnson said Justin March is adapting well to playing Mike LB. He's used to play DJ's position. https://t.co/YNwjlWAG1g

#Chiefs Jeremy Maclin holding on FG tries. Saw him practicing taking snaps from Winchester earlier this week. Emergency holder?

#Chiefs Jamaal Charles expanding the workload, out there for 9 on 7 drills. Seem to be giving him work faster than expected.
