Mini-Camp Practice #5 Report (http://www.bobgretz.com/chiefs-football/mini-camp-practice-5-report.html)

Another summer thunderstorm rolled in Sunday morning and again chased the Chiefs inside for their final practice of the 2010 mini-camp.
And the players received a mini-camp surprise from their head coach, as Todd Haley cut short the session, putting the squad through a workout that lasted just a tad over 60 minutes.
“I just felt progress that we had made through this weekend and that part of it was going to be review and as hard as these guys have worked over the last three months it was worth giving something back to them,” said Haley. “They did a good job today, they were working hard and didn’t seem distracted.”
The session finished up with the two-minute drill, where both the offense and defense had big plays. The first offense’s turn with the ball produced a TD pass from QB Matt Cassel to TE Tony Moeaki, where the rookie made a very nice catch in the back corner of the end zone. The second offense’s time with the ball ended rather quickly as QB Tyler Palko’s pass was picked off by CB Travis Daniels, who had a very good weekend.
There are two more days of the off-season program left for the veterans. On Monday most will be involved with the Chiefs Ambassadors Golf Tournament at Shadow Glen Golf Club. On Tuesday will be the final OTA practice session.
The rookies will stay another two weeks, getting most of their work in strength and conditioning.
Observations from Sunday’s workout:
It may get old, but it’s relevant that again the Chiefs had 86 of 87 on the field. The only missing man was unsigned restricted free agent S Jarrad Page.
The same five guys were in the rehab area – WR Quinten Lawrence, WR Lance Long, RB Jamaal Charles, CB Brandon Flowers and TE Brad Cottam.
Moeaki was working with the No. 1 offense during the two-minute drill, in place of Leonard Pope.
The No. 1 nickel defense continued to feature OLB Mike Vrabel working inside with Andy Studebaker taking his place on the corner.
Rookie CB Javier Arenas had a good weekend as well, but he dropped a sure interception during the practice.
In the special teams segment the Chiefs worked on their punt return group, with Arenas and WR/RB Dexter McCluster as the only returners.
