Travis Kelce says the Chiefs feel safe in their training camp facility at Arrowhead Stadium. The important thing is for players to be responsible when they leave the facility to return home each night. The Chiefs tight end touched on a range of topics on this episode of The Star’s daily SportsBeat KC podcast.

Also, running back Damien Williams tells Sirius XM his decision to opt out this season was based on a family illness. You’ll also hear from Sporting KC’s Peter Vermes, who was disappointed in himself after Thursday’s elimination loss at the MLS is Back Tournament.

Finally, Kris Bubic tells us how he found out he would make his MLB debut as the Royals’ starting pitcher in Friday night’s home opener.
