Highlights, News, and Notes from Day 2 of Chiefs Training Camp | KCSN Daily 7.28

Welcome to KCSN Daily

Welcome to KCSN Daily where we deliver you the best Kansas City Chiefs content directly to your inbox every day.

The weather wasn’t favorable at the top of Day 2 of training camp practices, which was the first practice open to the public. Thankfully, things cleared up with just some light rain, which means the team stayed outdoors. Remember, if there is lightning in the area, the team will practice indoors and practice will no longer be open to the public. It’s important to Chiefs HC Andy Reid to get a few practices in the elements during training camp because it prepares players for the type of weather they might face on gameday during the season.

Thursday’s standouts at practice included WR JuJu Smith-Schuster, WR Skyy Moore, WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling, TE Noah Gray, LB Elijah Lee and S Juan Thornhill.

Quotable:

“I mean, Carlos Dunlap, his resume speaks for itself. I think he had 7-8 sacks last year for Seattle. You know, he’s a high-character guy. I trained with him this offseason in Miami. If we’re able to add him and the report is true, we’ll accept Carlos with open arms. He’s a veteran guy who has had a lot of experience in this league. To have a veteran guy like that in this position group, I think it would be remarkable.” - Chris Jones on new Chiefs DE Carlos Dunlap, transcription via Chiefs Wire

Listen to the KC Laboratory crew break down what Carlos Dunlap brings to the Chiefs

“We’re very fortunate to have Nick (Bolton) here in my opinion. Nick is a natural thinker. He’s a natural football player too, but I’m glad to have Nick because I think he does a really good job at it. Just like with Tyrann (Mathieu), the safeties being at Tyrann’s level after being in it for three years. I’m not sure that Nick will be at Hitch's (Anthony Hitchens) level after Hitch had it for three years. But I am encouraged by what he’s doing right now.” - Chiefs DC Steve Spagnuolo on Nick Bolton taking over the MLB spot

#Chiefs LG Joe Thuney on current LT fill-in Roderick Johnson: "He's doing really well. Digging in the playbook and communicating a lot. Just trying to get better every day."

Adam Orduna @AdamKCTV5

The @Chiefs backfield looks good especially ROJO & CEH

Pete Sweeney @pgsween

Andy Reid has said that, in Orlando Brown’s absence, the Chiefs would rotate through possible left tackles. That has not begun today, with Roderick Johnson manning the position for the second straight day.

Craig Stout @barleyhop

Open up, look for the crosser, ID the curl and drive to cut the throw. Great job by Willie to get there.

KC Sports Network @KCSportsNetwork

Mahomes nearly picked by Willie Gay https://t.co/udUY9ojiwg

Harold R. Kuntz @HaroldRKuntz3

Offense dominated first 7-on-7 session of 1’s vs 1’s …Good session from the defense in the 2nd 7-on-7 with the 1’s… a few PBUs, some good coverage.

Tommy Rezac @TommyKFEQ

Jerick McKinnon continues to make his case. Nice catch and run on a wheel route with the first-team offense in 11x11. #Chiefs

Nate Taylor @ByNateTaylor

First wrinkle in the 7-on-7 period is Bryan Cook getting reps alongside Juan Thornhill.

Camp TikTuck @tuckerdfranklin

Trey Smith has been first in line for every drill so far. LOVE to see it.

Matt Derrick @mattderrick

Chiefs DE Frank Clark heading down the hill, he came in to practice midway through yesterday. Here for the start on Thursday.
