Kansas City Chiefs coaches, quarterbacks and rookies arrived on the campus of Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph on Friday, July 22. The rest of the team — its veterans — reported three days later, on Monday, July 25.
Starting left tackle Orlando Brown Jr., who sat out all of the team’s offseason programs, did not report on that day — and then he stayed at home as the team conducted its first five practices of training camp.
Over the past week-plus, head coach Andy Reid, quarterback Patrick Mahomes and several other Chiefs players have been asked questions about the status of starting left tackle, who was disgruntled that the team did not offer him what he deemed to be a fair long-term contract.
