Chiefs OTA report: Xavier Worthy sits, Skyy Moore struggles

The latest updates from Chiefs reporters give some insight into how players are looking during OTAs.

The Kansas City Chiefs were back at practice this week for another three-day run of voluntary workouts in Phase 3 of the team's offseason training activities. This portion was open to the media, which allows those of us outside of Arrowhead to finally get a read on the team.

It's important to note from the outset here that it's dangerous to draw conclusions or create narratives from offseason workouts. No one will ever remember how someone performed in May and this time of year is about challenging younger players to see what they can handle and to check in on injured players to see how far they've progressed.

Still, it's a good time to hear from reporters about what they are observing as they check in with some players, some of whom they might be covering for the first time.

When it comes to Thursday's action on the field, the biggest takeaway from Chiefs media was about who wasn't there.

Omenihu is still working his way back from a torn ACL suffered in the postseason, so that's not a surprise to see him on the sidelines. Chenal and Nnadi might be dealing with injuries as well.

As for Worthy, the team's top draft pick, it's the second week in a row in which a hamstring tweak has kept him from joining his teammates. Again, to read too much into this would be careless, but the worries are also understandable given how much fans want to see him on the field and growing into an important role in this offense.

As for observations of what went down, Harold Kuntz, who is always a good follow on social media, took a few notes worth sharing, including how some young wideouts were performing.

We've taken a close look at the potential of Remigio already this offseason here wondering if he will fill the role vacated by Richie James, so to see him mentioned is promising.

The downside here is that Skyy Moore's name is connected with further struggles which only bolsters the narrative that's been written about him to date. There's plenty of time in camp to alter perception, but this preseason might be Moore's last if he can't earn more trust in the offense in '24.

Following practice, the Chiefs will make several of their assistant coaches available to the media, including offensive coordinator Matt Nagy and assistant head coach Dave Toub.
