Frank Clark misses Thursday’s Chiefs practice due to illness, reportedly resolves off-the-field trouble [UPDATED]

Clark is the only Kansas City player absent from the workout.

Kansas City Chiefs defensive end Frank Clark will miss Thursday afternoon’s practice due to an illness, according to an announcement from the team ahead of the morning press conference.

Clark practiced fully on Wednesday as the team prepared for its Week 1 away game against the Arizona Cardinals. Last week, Clark also missed Monday and Tuesday’s practices (the only ones open to the media) due to an illness.

In 2019, Clark saw a specialist because he was suffering from an ailment that caused him to lose between 18 and 20 pounds, according to reports at the time.
