The Kansas City Chiefs kicked off their penultimate training camp practice on Wednesday morning with some excellent news.
After leaving practice with an injury on Tuesday, Chiefs second-year sensation Justyn Ross is participating in practice on Wednesday. Chiefs HC Andy Reid confirmed that Ross was dealing with some sort of lower-body injury, but they didn't have all the information directly after practice. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport later reported that the injury was expected to be minor in nature.
As it turns out, the injury was so minor that Ross has already made his return to practice. He was spotted wearing a compression sleeve on his lower left leg around his calf.
Ross isn't out of the woods yet, but it's obviously a good sign that he's back out on the football field. He has a lengthy injury history and fans are anxious to see him stay healthy after he gave them a taste of his ability in the preseason Week 1 tilt with the New Orleans Saints.
In terms of other injury news, S Mike Edwards returned to practice on Wednesday after missing the first practice of the week with ankle swelling. WR Ihmir Smith-Marsette, who left Tuesday's practice with a groin injury, was also back out on the field at the onset of practice.
CB Nic Jones (hand), WR Nikko Remigio (shoulder), CB L’Jarius Sneed (knee), WR Kadarius Toney (knee), and DT Turk Wharton (knee) were among the injured players not participating on Wednesday, per multiple reports.
DT Chris Jones remains absent from practice amidst his contract-related holdout.
