On the final day of training camp Thursday in St. Joseph, Chiefs head coach Andy Reid reflected on the team's time at camp.
"They worked hard, and I appreciated that," Reid said. "I thought we made progress. I mentioned before, I think it's the young guys that you're really looking at here — we have a number of them — and how they've progressed, and continue to progress will be a big part of how this team does."
He also gave credit to veterans Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Chris Jones and Nick Bolton for their leadership at training camp.
Reid said quarterback Mahomes won't take the field Saturday against the Buccaneers.
