Mahomes with perfectly placed pass to McKinnon on the flats. Let him catch and run in stride to show off his burst.

Chris Jones just had a fantastic rep as a defensive end on a short pass to Clyde Edwards-Helaire. He’s dominating this team period. And Patrick Mahomes still drops a perfect intermediate pass to Jody Fortson near the sideline. 8:39 AM · Jul 31, 2021

Meanwhile, offensive lineman Mike Remmers — who has been seeing the majority of snaps at right tackle during the first three days of camp — was not on the practice field. ESPN’s Adam Teicher was the first to report his absence — and our Jared Sapp contributed some thoughts.

JUSTIN HOUSTONDL, BALTIMORE RAVENS Ravens signed DE Justin Houston to a one-year, $4 million contract. Houston turned down better offers to play for the Ravens. The 32-year-old took a step back in 2020 but remains an effective pass rusher, posting eight sacks on a 59% snap share. Houston gives Baltimore a veteran starter and should play in passing situations in a rotation with Pernell McPhee and Derek Wolfe. The blitz heavy Ravens are a strong fit for Houston, who fills the void left by Yannick Ngakoue and Matt Judon leaving this offseason.

Nick Jacobs @Jacobs71 Mahomes loaded up for the deep post to Hardman. That would be good for a 55yd+ TD. Thornhill and Sorensen were deep in coverage. Mahomes gave Hardman time to run under it. #Chiefs

Pete Sweeney @pgsween Limited look for a few plays. Remmers already back out there now.

Looks like Lucas Niang is getting a look as the top team right tackle in team work. #Chiefs

Aaron Ladd @aaronladd0 Still early in camp, but #Chiefs Jerick McKinnon appears to be a great fit in this offense

Nick Jacobs @Jacobs71 Powell making a physical catch with a defender draped on him. Ball from Henne rifled in there on the cross. #Chiefs

Twice, Patrick Mahomes has connected with Marcus Kemp for completions of at least 20 yards downfield near the sideline. The crowd loves it.

Pass Break Up

Aaron Ladd @aaronladd0 #Chiefs Willie Gay sticks with Tyreek Hill and gets a nice PBU

Yes and I dont think the Jones issue has anything to do with signing Houston. There is never enough quality depth on an NFL roster and Houston could be an asset even if Jones were full time DE. Maybe Spags simply does not want him?

Nick Jacobs @Jacobs71 McKinnon showing better burst than I expected on the pitch. #Chiefs

Well because Jones wants the opportunity & it gives KC more options, less predictable & there is no downside.

Patrick Mahomes opens up the first team period by finding Noah Gray, who makes an impressive grab in coverage. He’s off to another good start.

1st team 7-on-7s: Hill, Hardman, and Callaway all on the same side of the formation. 15 finds Callaway on an in-breaking route in traffic Fun to imagine what they can do with all that speed at the same time #Chiefs

Hughes and Baker seem to be rotating pretty evenly at Outside CB in 1st team 11-on-11s Nickel personnel. Hughes got the first shot, but Baker’s getting run too #Chiefs

Niang. A complete unknown at this time. I hope he is awesome but no way to know. Should have a better idea after day two. LOL

A perfect world? Niang is completely unknown. He may suck. Yes having a better RT would be better. Niang may not be better. Thats why they are in CAMP.

Its his first camp.

Chiefs know that Remmers sucks at lt. Looking at Niang there makes sense. Plus its his first day, first camp and KC needs a swing guy.

Nate Taylor @ByNateTaylor The best linebacker today has been Willie Gay.

Nate Taylor @ByNateTaylor · 15m At the start of the individual period, Chris Jones is with the rest of the defensive ends.

Pete Sweeney @pgsween · 16m 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
