Chiefs Face Heat Injuries, Veteran Additions During Grueling Training Camp

The Kansas City Chiefs are enduring intense conditions during their 2025 training camp, including grueling heat and physically demanding practices that have led to injuries and even a minor scuffle between rookies. Veteran additions like tight end Robert Tonyan aim to bolster the roster's depth, particularly with some uncertainty around Travis Kelce’s availability this season. Despite their recent Super Bowl loss, former Pro Bowler Jamaal Charles and others view the Chiefs as the AFC team to beat, especially with key players like Patrick Mahomes and top receivers returning healthy. The team's resilience in close games, highlighted by an NFL record 17 consecutive one-possession wins last season, is seen as a defining trait reinforced by head coach Andy Reid’s culture and Mahomes’ leadership. Fans and players alike are cautioned to take heat safety seriously during camp, as temperatures and heat index values have reached dangerous levels. Overall, the Chiefs remain optimistic that their preparation and roster improvements will position them well for another strong season.
