Chiefs Blend Veterans, Rookies in 2025 Camp

The Kansas City Chiefs have begun their 2025 training camp with ambitions for a fourth Super Bowl, led by quarterback Patrick Mahomes and head coach Andy Reid. Reid plans to play starters, including Mahomes, for the first quarter of the preseason opener against the Arizona Cardinals. Rookie running back Brashard Smith and rookie left tackle Josh Simmons have emerged as camp standouts, with Simmons expected to start in Week 1. Tight end Robert Tonyan is making a strong case for a roster spot, offering reliable support to veteran Travis Kelce. The Chiefs are addressing last season's offensive struggles by developing new weapons and blending veteran leadership with emerging talent. Their preparations focus on building depth and revitalizing their offensive firepower for the upcoming season.
