The Chiefs’ injury news recited by Andy Reid or other team officials is generally what trainer Rick Burkholder tells them. On the first day of workouts, Burkholder issued the update himself, and prospects are mostly good.
Linebacker Dee Ford, running back Spencer Ware, center Mitch Morse and wide receiver De’Anthony Thomas worked out in light drills Monday.
Others mentioned by Burkholder: cornerback Ashton Lampkin, coming off a torn ACL, “is not quite ready yet and we’re taking it day by day,” the trainer said.
As for Ford, who has been dealing with a back injury: “He’s done great,” Burkholder said.
