Chris Jones is absent. He also doesn’t have to be anywhere right now.
Right now, it’s possible for Jones to show up and officially start to work out with the rest of the Kansas City Chiefs roster. Voluntary workouts are open to all players and given the level of competition for everyone’s job, most players can be found in the weight rooms of their home stadiums this spring. It’s voluntary, but it’s also expected—like it or not. That’s why, when a player is missing, it can be a newsworthy event even though, on paper, there’s nothing newsworthy about it.
