On Thursday, Kansas City Chiefs<\/a> head coach Andy Reid brought favorable news to the podium as the club closed down for the summer: He confirmed both wide receiver Rashee Rice and offensive tackle Josh Simmons should be full participants at the start of training camp in late July.<\/p>\n

Rice missed the rest of the season after a Week 4 knee injury against the Los Angeles Chargers. Simmons slid to the Chiefs at pick No. 32 because of the patellar tendon tear he suffered at Ohio State in mid-October \u2014 a setback that continues to look like it created a bargain for Kansas City.<\/p>\n

Reid added that given his recovery progress, Simmons could potentially start Week 1 for the Chiefs \u2014 if he can win the job against veteran Jaylon Moore.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can see [Simmons\u2019] athletic ability; you can see his want-to,\u201d said Reid. \u201cHe\u2019s got a great attitude. He\u2019s approached everything the right way, plus a little bit extra. You could tell if you just want to look at his rehab, you can see that he had a mindset that, \u2018I\u2019m going to get in there. It\u2019s not going to be training camp. It\u2019s going to be now.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, Simmons told reporters he is sometimes rehabbing two or three times a day to be ready<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe worked his tail off to get there,\u201d continued Reid of Simmons. \u201cSo you respect that part of it. He\u2019s done a nice job in there, he\u2019s worked well, and we\u2019ll just see. We\u2019ll see what training camp does. Some of it is different when things are flying fast up there, and you\u2019ve got full contact and pads on. We\u2019ll see how he does.\u201d <\/p>\n

Tight end Jared Wiley, who tore his ACL during a November practice<\/a>, dressed for mandatory minicamp but was limited throughout. Reid is also optimistic about his status.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we\u2019re going to be OK there,\u201d said Reid of Wiley. \u201cHe got some work here the last couple of days, so I think we\u2019ll be fine there.\u201d <\/p>\n

All of the Chiefs’ players report to St. Joseph for training camp on July 21. Behind a productive offseason, Reid has opted to forgo the usual opening week of camp that includes three practices for quarterbacks and rookies. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On Thursday, Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid brought favorable news to the podium as the club…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":143482,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[921,3937,4382,346,7,23,29,856,23995,922,1193,88,6,151,6690,1260,989,5521,528,5571],"class_list":{"0":"post-143481","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-arrowhead","9":"tag-be","10":"tag-camp","11":"tag-chiefs","12":"tag-football","13":"tag-for","14":"tag-front-page","15":"tag-josh","16":"tag-kansas-city-chiefs-injuries","17":"tag-kansas-city-chiefs-news","18":"tag-kansas-city-chiefs-roster","19":"tag-news","20":"tag-nfl","21":"tag-pride","22":"tag-rashee","23":"tag-ready","24":"tag-rice","25":"tag-simmons","26":"tag-to","27":"tag-training"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114712687702740293","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/143481","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=143481"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/143481\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/143482"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=143481"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=143481"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=143481"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
