Saturday’s preseason game gave Chiefs rookies their first taste of game action after several weeks of training camp in St. Joseph. One rookie that stood out was undrafted running back Carson Steele, a hidden gem of sorts through camp.
Steele has run this camp as both a running back and a fullback and says his goal coming into camp was to be a Swiss army knife.
Steele scored the lone Chiefs touchdown in the game against Jacksonville, rushing four times for 29 yards.

During Chiefs training camp in St. Joseph undrafted running back Carson Steele has stood out as a camp favorite. Head Coach Andy Reid says Steele has been working out at the fullback position as needed.
Having Steele at the fullpack position would give them their first actual fullback since the retirement of Anthony Sherman.

Chiefs first-round pick Xavier Worthy got his first bit of actual in Saturday’s preseason loss to the Jaguars. And after an early injury to receiver Hollywood Brown, Worthy’s role in the offense could expand even more, at least for the first few weeks.
Worthy says even with the injury to Brown, his mindset does not change.
Worthy was held without a catch or a target in the first preseason game, but could be used more this Saturday against Detroit. It was a lighter 10-10-10 practice Monday for the Chiefs. They practice again today at 9:15 in St. Joseph.
