Agreed. He’s a long term player. They’re gonna let him heal 101%

Honestly, it works out best this way anyway, from a numbers perspective. As much chatter as there's been about us losing Hill, our depth at WR got kind of nutty. We'd have cut someone good if we had to keep Ross on the roster proper.

Here is a few things on the rookies in camp.

First a couple on Bryan Cook, who had a nice intereption on day #1. Cook is taking a lot of Dan Sorensen's responsibilities but he's also showing leadership. The second article discusses how the secondary communicates.

Next is Leo Chenal who was pulled early on day #1 for heat stress. On day #2 he had a pick on his final play. One nice line, "You know, iron sharpens iron. In reality, it’s like diamond sharpens like copper with [Mahomes] out there."

One from the offense. Isaiah Pacheco may be a 7th round pick but you would never know it from the stir he causes.

If there is a buzz-word about the Chiefs this offseason it would be physical or physicality. In the story below, Creed Humphrey wants the OL to be known as one of the most physical in the league, a big change from the zone blocking technicians prior to 2020. It's not just the offensive line. The defense has added size and hitting power from DL to CB. They remind of the Baltimore Ravens teams of a decade ago, only we have Pat Mahomes not Joe Flacco.

Assorted observations and tweets. The last one caught my interest. Trent McDuffie, Skyy Moore, and Corey Coleman were returning punts. Daurice Fountain is the odds on 6th WR for his special team play even without returning punts, but this adds a wrinkle.

Cortez Broughton was released with a failed physical designation.
