Chiefs' Hollywood Brown, Skyy Moore leave practice

Notes from Day 7 of training camp

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. – From a minor scuffle to more humid conditions, the Chiefs’ seventh day of training camp practice had a little bit of everything.

The one thing to stand out, however, was an annual summer camp trend surrounding the war of attrition, as multiple players either didn’t practice or left the field on a cart with various injuries.

And a handful of the injuries affected the position group that entered training camp with high expectations.

Wide receivers Hollywood Brown (ankle) and Skyy Moore (hamstring) were taken from the practice field in separate carts up the hill, while Xavier Worthy was banged up after attempting a diving catch.

“Xavier banged his head,” coach Andy Reid announced after practice.

Worthy should be fine, but it remains to be seen how much time – if any – Brown and Moore will miss during training camp with their respective injuries.

While Reid was asked specifically about Brown, the coach couldn’t provide further information.

“I haven’t seen him yet,” Reid said. “They took him up, so I don’t know right now. I don’t think it’s too bad, but we’ll see.”

Nevertheless, any potential absence from Brown and Moore will test the Chiefs’ depth at the wide receiver position.

Conversely, it would open the door for other players to get valuable repetitions with the first-team offense.

The Chiefs’ top five wide receivers project as Worthy, Brown, Rashee Rice, JuJu Smith-Schuster and rookie Jalen Royals, with Moore, Tyquan Thornton and Nikko Remigio in the mix for a roster spot.

Royals and Thornton have already been involved in certain personnel packages with the first-team offense throughout training camp. And their repetitions would only increase in response to any missed time from Brown.

The Chiefs’ first preseason game is approaching, with a road contest against the Arizona Cardinals on Saturday, Aug. 9.

SCUFFLE TIME

A pair of rookies went at it following a play during team drills.

Left tackle Josh Simmons and defensive end Ashton Gillotte became tangled up, and then both players pushed and shoved each other.

Teammates on both sides of the ball quickly separated Simmons and Gillotte before the situation escalated, and the two players went their separate ways.

Reid didn’t appear too concerned over the minor fracas.

“Competitive spirit, man,” Reid said. “It’s hot and you get ornery.”

MOORE GETS A NEW LOOK

The Chiefs are getting a good look at Jaylon Moore’s versatility through seven days of training camp practices.

Moore, who signed a two-year deal during free agency, was thought to be the Chiefs’ starting left tackle before the team used a first-round pick on Josh Simmons.

Moore opened camp at right tackle because Jawaan Taylor was on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list. Taylor returned on the fifth day practice, and he and Moore have rotated snaps with the first-team offense.

Tuesday provided a new opportunity for Moore, who rotated first-team snaps with Kingsley Suamataia at left guard.

“He’s working all three of those spots,” Reid explained. “Really, both guards. He can do either or. We’re just working. We need everybody.”

Moore has shown plenty of versatility during training camp, and the team will always need a swing guard and tackle.

PARTICIPATION

The Chiefs’ group of walking wounded increased from the previous day.

Rookie linebacker Jeffrey Bassa (ankle), linebacker Cooper McDonald (illness), cornerback Eric Scott (hamstring) and safety Deon Bush (hamstring) did not practice and worked off to the side with athletic trainers.

Cornerback Kristian Fulton (knee, PUP list), rookie tight end Jake Briningstool (hamstring) and cornerback Darius Rush (hamstring) continue to miss on-field work.
