Andy Reid didn’t seem too concerned with the Kansas City Chiefs’ recent spate of fights at training camp practice during his comments after Sunday’s workouts.
When the veteran head coach was asked by a reporter about Travis Kelce’s mix-up with linebacker Jack Cochrane on Saturday, Reid shrugged the question off, reaffirming that the decorated tight end is still in his good graces.
“He’s one of the team leaders,” Reid said of Kelce. “He felt it, and so… that’s alright. I’m just glad that at that old he’s still got some juice in him.”
Fights are part of the growth process during the dog days of summer at training camp, and as the heat rises, so do the tempers of the players who are giving their best out on the practice field.
Kelce’s weekend incident will be behind him by the time Kansas City’s regular season kicks off in September and, with some perspective, the All-Pro pass catcher is sure to grow from Saturday’s unfortunate scrum.
