The Chiefs have revealed plenty of two-tight end formations during their offseason program and spent plenty of time at least trying to throw the ball to both of their new tight ends, Anthony Fasano and Travis Kelce. The signs are everywhere that the tight end as a pass receiver is back in the Chiefs offense under new coach Andy Reid.

Chiefs general manager John Dorsey and coach Andy Reid don’t always agree — who does? — but they see football through the same lens. These are sure men who take their jobs seriously but not themselves, and maybe they like a little bit of that in their players. Be confident in yourself, while still knowing you need to get better.
Tennessee’s Tyler Bray has so many of the qualities NFL scouts like to see in a starting quarterback that he could have been drafted: a big arm, classic size (6-feet-6, 232 pounds) and plenty of college production. The Chiefs signed him after the draft despite his negatives: lack of maturity and poor work habits.
When the Chiefs return for the start of another practice week on Tuesday, some of their work will specifically be dedicated to their rivals in the AFC West and other early-season opponents.
In case you missed it, Las Vegas has set the over-under for wins this year for the 32 NFL teams, and for the Chiefs it’s seven victories, making that one a tough call. It’s tempting to take the over. But ...
Harassed at times last week by the pressure of the defense, the Chiefs’ offense countered during offseason workouts Tuesday with a faster pace of its own. The offense as a result had perhaps its best day of the spring.
The Chiefs get back to offseason practice this week with three more sessions, the first being on Tuesday. Their first group of practices last week revealed a few new twists, including the Chiefs running a handful of plays from the pistol formation in Thursday’s practice.
Former Kansas player Toben Opurum signed a contract with the Chiefs on Friday as an undrafted rookie.
The Chiefs returned to the practice field and resumed their voluntary offseason program on Tuesday morning. They’ll work three days this week, four days next week and conduct a mandatory minicamp during June 4-6 before adjourning until training camp opens in late July in St. Joseph.
The Star's Adam Teicher answered fans' questions on the Chiefs during a web chat earlier today.
Branden Albert is standing tall, a 6-foot-5 and 316-pound giant, the most confident and sure face he can muster telling you that whatever problems he might have had with the Chiefs are in the past. He very much wants you to believe this. He very much wants to believe it himself.
One of the most interesting competitions that should develop at training camp is at one inside linebacker position, the spot next to Derrick Johnson. For now, veteran Akeem Jordan is the starter. But also don’t underestimate what the Chiefs think of rookie Nico Johnson (pictured), a fourth-round draft pick from Alabama.
The Chiefs are working to develop one or more receivers capable of helping Dwayne Bowe (center) boost their passing game. Jon Baldwin is the other starter with Bowe and leads the list of candidates, but hasn’t yet emerged as the dominant offseason player he was last season before faltering when the games started. Other candidates are Terrance Copper (left) and Dexter McCluster (right).
The Chiefs have signed fullback Braden Wilson of Kansas State, the second of the team’s two sixth-round draft picks. Wilson is the fourth of Kansas City’s eight selections to sign with the club.
If there’s one thing evident from the first week of Chiefs offseason practice, it’s that new defensive coordinator Bob Sutton plans a pressure defense.
