Reid, Veach and staff watched several voluntary OTA workouts this week.
The team will hold a mandatory minicamp June 9–11 and begin training camp in late July.

The Kansas City Chiefs held their first “open” practice of Organized Team Activities, commonly known as OTAs, on Thursday in Kansas City.

We put “open” in quotes because although this was the lone portion of OTAs that media folks were allowed to observe, the team convened a total of three times this week — and will again next — for the voluntary (but always well-attended) offseason workouts and drills.

It’s all taking place under the watchful eye of head coach Andy Reid, general manager Brett Veach and a host of assistant coaches and support staff. After OTAs comes the Chiefs’ annual mandatory minicamp (June 9-11), followed by a break until training camp begins in late July at St. Joseph.

But back to Thursday: KC Star photographer Emily Curiel captured some nice images of the on-field action, with Patrick Mahomes, Xavier Worthy and other Chiefs players going through workouts and drills at the practice facility adjacent to GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.
