Five players — wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster, tight ends Travis Kelce and Tre Watson, offensive lineman Trey Smith and linebacker Drue Tranquill — were all absent from the voluntary session.

Running backs Isiah Pacheco and Kareem Hunt, wide receiver Hollywood Brown, offensive linemen Ethan Driskell and linebacker Cam Jones were all present on Thursday after being absent last Wednesday, which was the last practice open to reporters.
