SportsBeat KC: Questions, answers as Chiefs’ season opener nears, and owner Clark Hunt
The strangest of training camps has ended for the Chiefs and focus now turns to Saturday’s cut-down date and the season opener the following Thursday at home against the Houston Texans.
Before looking ahead, beat writers Herbie Teope and Sam McDowell join SportsBeat KC host Blair Kerkhoff and take a look back at the camp that took place for the first time at the team’s practice facility at the Truman Sports Complex because of the coronavirus.
Who stood out? Who surprised? Who might start? That kind of daily speculation filled reporters’ notebooks when the team was training at Missouri Western. But the flow of guesswork was slowed this season. The Chiefs return most of their starters from the Super Bowl season, and without preseason games, veterans were going to have an edge over newcomers.
After a break, you’ll hear from Chiefs chairman and CEO Clark Hunt, who met with the media over the weekend to discuss many topics — from contracts to protests and Native American imagery.
