Chiefs break training camp still seeking star power on defense

ST. JOSEPH

A final analysis of Chiefs training camp as a season preparation exercise cannot be offered, not on defense.

A team that sweated through nearly a month of workouts, meetings and dorm living at Missouri Western did so without three of its most decorated players: Justin Houston, Eric Berry and Tamba Hali.

“There are pros and cons to that,” Chiefs linebacker Derrick Johnson said. “You want those guys out here because they’re the best of the best.”

But on the positive side, the Chiefs got long looks at outside linebackers Dee Ford and Frank Zombo and safety Daniel Sorensen.
