Kadarius Toney’s knee injury has led to some questions about the Chiefs depth at wide receiver, but that’s not the big story at training camp in St. Joseph.

Fans are mostly focused on the future of defensive lineman Chris Jones, who has not shown up at camp as he holds out for a new contract. Jones, who had 15 1/2 sacks last season, still has one more year left on his current contract.

It’s not known if he’ll eventually return without a new deal or if the Chiefs will give him a new contract.

Chiefs fans are hoping to see Jones return to the team as soon as possible, and when he does come back (we’re thinking positively here), Jones should be in good shape.

Jones shared an Instagram post with a few photos and wrote simply: “We still working…”

Here is the post.

Jones looks to be in good shape, right?
