Chiefs training camp report, Aug. 4: Defense again wins the day

ST. JOSEPH

The highlights from Tuesday’s day in Chiefs camp, along with an injury report and Wednesday’s schedule.

THE OFFENSE

The Chiefs held their first “live” tackling session. … In team (11-on-11) periods, receiver Jason Avant made an outstanding catch on a high pass from quarterback Chase Daniel. He leapt into the air and pulled it down with a defender closing in on him. … Quarterback Alex Smith and receiver Jeremy Maclin hooked up for a big-boy reception when they connected on a dig route over the middle. Smith put good velocity on it and Maclin showed good focus to bring it in with defenders in the area.
