The Kansas City Chiefs are set to hold their annual mandatory minicamp Tuesday through Thursday at The University of Kansas Health System Sports Medicine and Performance Center.
To this point, the offseason program has been voluntary, and head coach Andy Reid has said he’s been pleased with the team’s attendance.
Kansas City opened two OTA practices to the media over the last two weeks — and among the notable absences were defensive tackle Chris Jones, tight end Travis Kelce and wide receiver Rashee Rice.
Jones has been around the facility this spring, including appearing in the Chiefs’ OTA arrival content on social media.
Mandatory minicamp is the one portion of the offseason program that requires attendance for veterans under contract, unless excused, so both Jones and Kelce are expected to be there.
Rice is not, as court records list his release date from Dallas County Jail as June 16. The Chiefs have said they expect the receiver to be available for training camp after a Dallas County judge approved a request for him to receive knee therapy while in custody.
According to the NFL’s collective bargaining agreement, missing all three days of mandatory minicamp can trigger fines totaling $107,911 for unexcused absences.
The Chiefs will make select players available to the media Tuesday and Wednesday, with Reid set to close the offseason program with a media session Thursday.
