The Kansas City Chiefs have a lot of players to keep an eye on as training camp rolls around.
The Kansas City Chiefs received some much-needed great news ahead of training camp.
Golden J opens this week's episode of the show, mentioning the rumors that quarterback Patrick Mahomes will be given a green light to participate in 11-on-11s in the coming days.
Mahomes notably tore his ACL and LCL at the tail end of last season, and promptly underwent surgery. There was hope that he would return for Week 1 of the 2026-27 season, and it's now looking like that hope could become a reality.
Mahomes' injury was in a down year for Kansas City, which resulted in the Chiefs missing the playoffs for the first time since 2015. Now, the Chiefs will look to get back to dominance.
Another offensive talent who has been in the spotlight recently, wide receiver Rashee Rice. The 26-year-old was beginning rehab on his knee when he was sentenced to serve 30-days in jail, stalling his recovery. Now, he'll be able to take the field for camp and likely be a player to watch
Chico mentions another WR to keep an eye on, Xavier Worthy, whom he believes has an opportunity to be WR1 next season.
While talking about the receivers heading to camp, Golden J and Chico do a deep dive into the rookie's looking to make their mark on the team and some of the hopefuls to wind up on the 53-man roster after cuts.
Moving on to the team as a whole, Kansas City came in at No. 12 on the most recent power rankings list from Yahoo Sports, so let us know in the comments if you think that's too high or too low.
Our duo is a bit understanding of the placement, given that the Chiefs took a few steps back last season while teams like the New England Patriots made a jump following their Super Bowl appearance, while teams like the Buffalo Bills and Philadelphia Eagles remain atop the league.
Lastly, Golden J works through a preview of the Chiefs' return specialists and runs down the list of who to pay attention to in camp.
Rounding out the podcast, there are some key dates to be aware of as the season approaches.
Wednesday, July 29 will be the first day of training camp, continuing weekly until the first preseason game on Aug. 15 against the Los Angeles Rams at Arrowhead Stadium.
