At the start of training camp in St. Joseph, Missouri, the team was about 90% vaccinated, according to head coach Andy Reid.
Now, as training camp comes to a close, the team is over 95% vaccinated, according to a team spokesperson. The spokesperson said that makes them one of seven NFL teams to hit the 95% mark.
However, the Chiefs won’t take first place. The Atlanta Falcons announced Monday that they were the first team to hit a 100% vaccination rate.
“[Nagy]’s been through this before, although the situation was different in Kansas City with Patrick and Alex Smith, and I’m telling you this: when he watches Justin, do you think for a minute he’s not sitting there going, ‘Damn, I just wanna put him in there and let him—’ of course he is,” Riddick said.
