The Chiefs got best news of the day was the return of corner Rashad Fenton to the practice field. Fenton received shoulder surgery in the offseason and was inactive for the first 11 camp practices. Chiefs defensive backs coach Dave Merritt says Fenton will slowly be reacclimated.
Fenton appeared in 14 games and started eight of them last year. He joins a stacked room of talent, including rookie corner Trent McDuffie and third-year pro L’Jarius Sneed, who Fenton played behind last season.

Back on the staff this year is Matt Nagy (Naggie) – senior offensive assistant and quarterbacks coach. He was the offensive coordinator in Kansas City from 2013-2017, and then head coach of the Chicago Bears from 2018-2021 before getting fired in February. Nagy says it’s been great getting reacquainted in KC, and he credis coach Reid, Eric Bieniemy, Patrick Mahomes and general manager Brett Veach for the success they’ve had since he’s been gone.
Nagy was brought back to the Chiefs in February, filling the shoes of Mike Kafka, who left to be offensive coordinator for the Giants following the 2021 season.

The Kansas City Chiefs added 50 new players to their roster this offseason, and those newcomers are trying to find their way onto the 53-man active roster. Chiefs assistant general manager Mike Borgonzi is in his 14th year with the team. He says camp is always exciting, but he’s eager to see these new players get their first in-game experience on Saturday during the preseason game in Chicago.
The Chiefs take the day off Wednesday, practice Thursday, head to Chicago Friday and play the Bears on Saturday at noon central to open up the preseason.
