It's supposed to be just rookies and quarterbacks practicing in St. Joseph, Missouri at the Kansas City Chiefs Training Camp.

But a select few "non-signal-calling" veterans have already reported for duty.

One of them is one of the greybeards of the team: Derrick Johnson. DJ is attempting to recover from the second Achilles rupture of his career — an injury suffered in a game last December.

"He did some good things today," said head coach Andy Reid. "I think he was testing it a little bit yesterday and today he was able to get out here and make some plays."
