Midway through his first practice of Chiefs training camp, Dee Ford yelled over to outside linebackers coach Mike Smith.

Ford was frustrated, he said after Monday’s practice.

For Ford, who missed all but six games with a lingering back injury last season, the frustration was rooted in a desire to do more, to show his coaches he was “back in full form” following a season-ending back surgery.

But his coaches had other ideas, cautioning the fifth-year outside linebacker to take it slow.
