Taylor and Watson Return to Chiefs’ First Padded Practice

Rookie tight end Jake Briningstool’s unexplained absence adds urgency to Kansas City’s depth evaluation

Overview

  • Right tackle Jawaan Taylor resumed padded practice after recovering from offseason knee surgery that had placed him on the PUP list at camp opening.
  • Backup tight end Tre Watson passed his physical and joined Taylor in pads following a groin injury.
  • Cornerback Kristian Fulton remains sidelined on the PUP list as he continues rehabilitation from a spring knee procedure.
  • Undrafted rookie tight end Jake Briningstool did not practice for undisclosed reasons, raising questions about tight end depth behind Travis Kelce.
  • With Taylor back at right tackle, the Chiefs will split snaps among Jaylon Moore and first-round pick Josh Simmons while weighing Taylor’s contract-year implications.
