Mini camp updates

Here's the first story: https://chiefswire.usatoday.com/2021/06/15/kansas-city-chiefs-mandatory-minicamp-injury-absence-updates-kyle-long-armani-watts-martinas-rankin/

Does the absence of Watts and Rankin mean they've seen the handwriting on the wall for them? It cost them both $15.5K.

[Coach]

Keep in mind, if their absences are not cleared by the team, that's where they'll get fined.

Got to imagine Watts and Rankin isn't stupid to go on AWOL.

[eDave]

These sound like approved absences. I'd think they'd want to practice in the league. Not showing up ends it all.

[Sofa King]

Both of those guys can kick rocks, particularly Watts for that dumbass onside kick off bullshit.

Day 2. Watts and Rankin still MIA, but may be due to injuries. Injuries?? Did they get splinters in their ass from riding the pines? https://chiefswire.usatoday.com/2021/06/16/kansas-city-chiefs-mandatory-minicamp-injury-absence-updates-austin-blythe-day-2/

Watts is a complete waste at this point. Broke. dick.

An interesting development is that undrafted free agent CB getting some run.

I tend to agree. I believe his ship has sailed.

[In58men]

Niemann outperforming Bolton isn’t ideal.

[htismaqe]

Niemann outperforming Bolton isn’t ideal.

But expected for anybody that has been realistic about it.

[Kiimo]

Niemann outperforming Bolton isn’t ideal.

Where are you seeing that

[In58men]

Where are you seeing that

Gay, Hitchens and Niemann getting the majority of 1st team reps today.

[CasselGotPeedOn]

Niemann outperforming Bolton isn’t ideal.

It's the middle of June lmao

[htismaqe]

It's the middle of June lmao

Exactly.

[-King-]

Wait...fans could go to the minicamp? Wtf? Or was it season ticket fans only?

[Kman34]

Niemann outperforming Bolton isn’t ideal.

He’s a rookie.. Any production this year is a bonus...

[staylor26]

Gay, Hitchens and Niemann getting the majority of 1st team reps today.

JFC :facepalm:

In no way does that mean he’s “outperforming” him.

[smithandrew051]

Niemann outperforming Bolton isn’t ideal.

We are fucked!!!!!

[saphojunkie]

Man… Alex Smith must be really outperforming Mahomes. Why did we trade up for him!

How is Watts still on this team?

Chiefs sign Darrius Shepherd

Chiefs adding former Blue Springs, NDSU Bison, Green Bay Packers, WR after minicamp.

https://chiefswire.usatoday.com/2021/06/17/kansas-city-chiefs-darrius-shepherd-mandatory-minicamp-tryout-signed/

We were at 90 players, so someone has to go.

Probably Bolton after being hammered by Nieman!
