  • Andy Reid said first-round tackle Josh Simmons and wideout Rashee Rice will be full participants when the Chiefs open training camp in late July
  • Simmons missed part of last season at Ohio State with a torn patellar tendon while Rice returns from an ACL tear that ended his campaign in Week 4
  • Kansas City added veteran Jaylon Moore and traded guard Joe Thuney to the Bears as part of a comprehensive overhaul of its offensive line
