Chiefs’ Tershawn Wharton ready to stop being ‘a cheerleader’

On Wednesday, there was a big surprise from the Kansas City Chiefs’ training camp at Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph.

Defensive tackle Tershawn Wharton — who tore his ACL during Week 5 last season — returned to practice. Wharton had been placed on the Active/PUP (physically-unable-to-perform) list at the start of camp.

After his return, fellow defensive tackle Derrick Nnadi said that “everyone on the defense was happy to see him back” — which led to a welcome unlike any Wharton had ever experienced.
