Chiefs hold intense first padded practice amid heat and Jones' holdout
- Chiefs coach Andy Reid was pleased with the energy and competitiveness at the team's first padded practice.
- The hot, humid conditions made the practice challenging, with heat indexes in the 90s.
- Players engaged in spirited drills and some trash talking, which Reid accepts if it doesn't become physical.
- The practice included 11-on-11 scenarios and linemen pass rushing drills.
- Defensive tackle Chris Jones is holding out for a new contract, with no indication when he might report.
