Kansas City Chiefs running back Jerick McKinnon spoke to the media on Saturday from the team’s training camp at Missouri Western State College in St. Joseph, Missouri.
McKinnon — who totaled 315 yards from scrimmage across three playoff games last season — was a free agent this offseason, but did not re-sign with the Chiefs until June 14. He said that the delay was health-related.
“I had some surgery after the season last year,” he explained. “I wanted to make sure I took as much time as needed — let that heal and recover. And then make my decision and go from there.
