Chiefs practicing in rain as Andy Reid elects to keep team outdoors

The Kansas City Chiefs will get their first taste of adverse weather as they prepare for the 2023 season at training camp in St. Joseph, Missouri on Monday. Though the rain expected on the campus of Missouri Western State University is forecast to be light, the team will get valuable experience playing on a slippery field.

Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com was in attendance ahead of Kansas City’s workouts and documented the conditions before the team took the field, posting a video of the gridiron to Twitter.

The rain is sure to be a factor in Kansas City’s workouts over the course of the mid-morning, and with the slick surface comes a risk of injury to players as they practice at full speed to maximize each rep they take during the Chiefs’ drills.

Expect fewer highlights out of this particular practice session, but watch for each member of the team’s roster to gain valuable experience in the less-than-ideal conditions as they gear up for their first preseason game next week.
