The Kansas City Chiefs held Day 1 of their mandatory minicamp on Tuesday, marking the first time this offseason in which players are required to participate. If a player’s absence is unexcused, he is subject to a fine (more on that here).
Defensive tackle Chris Jones — entering the final year of his four-year contract — did not attend the workout. Tight end Blake Bell, running back Jerick McKinnon, running back Isiah Pacheco, right guard Trey Smith and defensive tackle Turk Wharton were also missing.
Three defensive backs — safety Mike Edwards, cornerback Trent McDuffie and cornerback L’Jarius Sneed — were seen on the field without helmets, watching from the sideline.
