Chiefs’ OTAs Day 9: Full absentee list, key injury update

Kansas City Chiefs rookie defensive end Felix Anudike-Uzomah participated in team scrimmage periods on Day 9 of the club’s organized team activity (OTA) session, which was open to the media on Thursday. Chiefs head coach Andy Reid noted that this year’s first-rounder had offseason thumb surgery and a hamstring injury, but he is now good to go.

“[Felix has] worked through all that, and he’s back in the swing,” said Reid. “Looks like he’s feeling better every day, which is a good thing.”

While Anudike-Uzomah was a full participant, 11 members of the roster we absent: tight end Blake Bell, linebacker Leo Chenal, tight end Jody Fortson, defensive tackle Chris Jones, running back Jerick McKinnon, running back Isiah Pacheco, wide receiver Justyn Ross, right guard Trey Smith, cornerback L’Jarius Sneed, cornerback Jaylen Watson and defensive tackle Turk Wharton.
