Following the conclusion of mandatory minicamp, the Kansas City Chiefs are on break until the start of training camp on July 20.

While Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes and the team’s backup quarterbacks typically kick off training camp with an exclusive week with rookies at Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph, head coach Andy Reid cancelled it this year.

With so many veterans returning this year, “We don’t have a ton of guys that we could bring there,” Reid told reporters during mandatory minicamp. “So I didn’t feel like that was a valuable time. We got the rookies here with extra time, so we took advantage of that… I thought we got accomplished what we needed to.”

The Chiefs retained the bulk of their key starters, coaches, and front office staff, after three consecutive Super Bowl appearances. However, one veteran Chiefs employee, Dan Meers, better known as KC Wolf, the team’s original mascot, announced his retirement after 35 years.

Chiefs CEO and co-owner Clark Hunt shared in a statement, “Since joining the organization in 1990, Dan helped establish KC Wolf not only as a source of energy and enthusiasm on gamedays, but as a symbol of pride and passion for all of Chiefs Kingdom.

“He ensured that his alter ego brought joy to people young and old, and his deep connection to the Kansas City community has made him a beloved figure to generations of Chiefs fans.”
