So, needless to say, a major injury to the rookie second-rounder could have been disastrous to KC\u2019s plans on the defensive side.<\/p>\n<p>Having said that, Norman-Lott\u2019s \u201cankle\u201d injury was just a \u201ctweak,\u201d according to Chiefs head coach Andy Reid.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[Norman-Lott] tweaked his ankle just a little bit, yeah,\u201d Reid told reporters after practice. He also added that the rookie \u201ccame back\u201d to practice, hinting that he\u2019s expected to be fine going forward.<\/p>\n<p>Chiefs starting right tackle Jawaan Taylor and rookie tight end Tre Watson both returned to practice on July 27, too, so Kansas City is getting healthier with this potential Norman-Lott crisis seemingly averted.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Omarr Norman-Lott\u2019s Immediate First-Team Reps Called \u2018Biggest Surprise\u2019 of Chiefs Training Camp<\/h2>\n<p>While fielding mailbag questions on July 26, A-to-Z Sports Kansas City\u2019s Nick Roesch referred to Norman-Lott\u2019s immediate trust and emergence as the \u201cbiggest surprise\u201d of Chiefs training camp so far.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen a team is returning so many veterans like the Chiefs are, there aren\u2019t a ton of surprises,\u201d Roesch began. \u201cA couple of mild ones come to mind, though, starting with the amount of reps rookie Omarr Norman-Lott has gotten as the starting defensive tackle next to Chris Jones.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMike Pennel will certainly be in the mix, but Norman-Lott could end up being the main guy there,\u201d the KC reporter added.<\/p>\n<p>Entering training camp, many covering the Chiefs still believed that they might need to sign another veteran defensive tackle to compete with Pennel for the starting job. The assumption was that Norman-Lott wouldn\u2019t be ready to log immediate impact snaps, but here we are.<\/p>\n<p>If the rookie can prove that he can handle an early-down role, at least part-time alongside Pennel, he should have no trouble taking over on pass-rushing downs. That type of snap percentage would make Norman-Lott a year-one starter.<\/p>\n<h2><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images2.minutemediacdn.com\/image\/upload\/c_crop,x_0,y_81,w_3348,h_1883\/c_fill,w_720,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto\/images\/ImagnImages\/mmsport\/220\/01j3njg0t5jmj2j3ge3h.jpg\" alt=\"Chiefs Get Big Update on Scary Camp Injury\" \/><\/h2>\n<h2>Chiefs\u2019 Standout Rookie TE Jake Briningstool Sidelined Again on Sunday<\/h2>\n<p>There was one other injury that popped up on Sunday, and it will be one to monitor in the coming days.<\/p>\n<p>Chiefs\u2019 standout rookie tight end Jake Briningstool was not practicing with a large compression sleeve on one leg. Remember, Briningstool also sat out minicamp with an injury before returning for training camp, so something is going on there.<\/p>\n<p>Reid labeled the reason for Briningstool\u2019s absence as a \u201chamstring strain\u201d after practice.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from Briningstool, new cornerback Kristian Fulton remains on the PUP list after undergoing knee surgery this offseason. Reid clarified that Fulton\u2019s surgery was a \u201cclean-up\u201d operation on July 27.<\/p>\n<p>It remains to be seen when Fulton and Briningstool will retake the field at Chiefs training camp. Reid was not willing to provide a recovery timeline on either of the two injuries.<\/p>\n<p>Fulton signed a two-year, $20 million contract this spring, so Kansas City has big plans for the veteran CB. Briningstool, on the other hand, is still competing to make the 53-man roster as an undrafted rookie.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid relayed a positive injury update after training camp practice as a key draft pick suffered a scare.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":29114,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-29113","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-kansas-city-chiefs"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
