The Kansas City Chiefs wrapped up the voluntary portion of the offseason training program on Friday as the players completed a third (and final) week of Organized Team Activities (OTAs) at the team facility.
“Phase 3” of the offseason training program, which includes OTAs, is significant because it permits for 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 offensive vs. defensive drills to take place for the first time since last season ended.
“It’s been a good turnout. The guys are working hard,” said Head Coach Andy Reid. “I appreciate the improvement that they’re making, especially the young guys who are pushing through these things. It’s a good lead-up for them as they get ready for [training] camp.”
The Chiefs completed 10 practices under “Phase 3” rules over the last three weeks on a voluntary basis, and while next week’s minicamp will operate the same way, the major distinction between the two is that minicamp is mandatory for all players to attend.
