After one day of lighter work on Thursday, the Kansas City Chiefs have returned to full pads for Friday's training camp practice in St. Joseph, Missouri. The biggest news from Friday's session is the return of rookie fifth-round wide receiver Cyrus Allen, who reportedly suffered a shin bruise on August 1 before the team's first padded practices began.Friday marked Allen's first padded practice as a pro, but according to Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star, Allen may not be fully participating in his first day back."Haven’t seen Cyrus Allen participating in the WR/CB contact drill," McDowell noted on Twitter/X.Cyrus Allen back to work today. pic.twitter.com/A4WdiXEA12— Sam McDowell (@SamMcDowell11) August 7, 2026According to Matt Derrick of Chiefs Digest, the long list of sidelined Chiefs includes wide receiver Xavier Worthy (shoulder), defensive end Ashton Gillotte (hamstring), linebacker Drue Tranquill (back), linebacker Jeffrey Bassa (groin), cornerback Kristian Fulton (hip), cornerback L'Jarius Sneed, defensive tackle Omarr Norman-Lott (PUP, knee) and—for the first time this camp—right guard Trey Smith.Derrick shared on Twitter/X that "we’ll get a Trey Smith update from Andy Reid after practice, but it doesn’t appear significant."Smith's absence has led to an interesting development for one of the Chiefs' most surprising stories of training camp.According to McDowell, Chiefs undrafted free agent Kahlil Benson, who has spent much of camp working with the first-team offense at right tackle, kicked in to right guard with Smith away, allowing Jaylon Moore to return to right tackle.Meanwhile, rookie cornerback Mansoor Delane remains in a yellow no-contact jersey, which he has worn throughout the entirety of camp so far.With Delane limited and Sneed and Fulton sidelined, the Chiefs are without three of their presumed top four boundary corner candidates (with Nohl Williams healthy and practicing) during full-contact portions of practice. Meanwhile, two of the team's top four linebackers are out, leaving Nick Bolton and Cooper McDonald to lead the way.While Gillotte has been the most likely candidate to start at defensive end opposite of George Karlaftis, his absence should provide more opportunities for defensive ends R Mason Thomas and Felix Anudike-Uzomah, who are both scheduled to speak to the media after Friday's practice.Sign up to our free newsletter and follow us on Facebook, X and Instagram for the latest news.Add us as a preferred source on GoogleFollow
