2 p.m. | Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo said Wednesday in a press conference that he's pleased so far with training camp performances.

“I’m pleased with the work, I’m glad we’re here," he said.

That energy came through in a video posted to Twitter by the Chiefs.

Hydration is clearly a priority for the team.

11:30 a.m. | The Chiefs announced after training camp practice Wednesday that linebacker Willie Gay Jr. is in concussion protocol.

Defensive end Alex Okafor was also added to the injury list Wednesday with a hamstring injury.

10:10 a.m. | The Chiefs players are getting close during training camp.

So close, that tight end Jody Fortson's helmet was stuck on defensive back Will Parks' helmet.

Check out the video the Chiefs tweeted out:

9:20 a.m. | KSHB 41 Sports anchor Hayley Lewis is at training camp practice on Wednesday and is tweeting photos from the start of practice.

9:15 a.m. | The Chiefs had a good day back in pads on Tuesday.

Head coach Andy Reid said he was happy with the players, and the players themselves seemed happy to be able to play "real football" again.

The defense in particular had a good day.

The Chiefs will start their second day of padded practice around 9:30 a.m. Wednesday.
