Orlando Brown Jr. is back. Well, not quite back but headed in the right direction. The Pro Bowl left tackle didn’t participate in the first week of Chiefs training camp, but his agent said he’ll be at Missouri Western for the second week of camp.

On today’s episode of the SportsBeat KC podcast, beat writers Jesse Newell and Herbie Teope along with columnist Sam McDowell discussed the impact of Brown’s absence and his return.

Also, Monday marked the first day of practice in pads. Who stood out? And was that Patrick Mahomes limping at the end of the workout? Yes, it was. But he’s OK.
