The Kansas City Chiefs had a pleasant surprise to start off OTAs.
Jody Fortson, who had suffered a season-ending Achilles injury in Week 6 last season, was back on the practice field working with his teammates for the first time since his injury. Andy Reid had previously mentioned there was a chance they’d get Fortson back for Phase 3 of the offseason program. Thursday’s practice session showed exactly that.
Asked about how excited he was to see him back out there, fellow tight end Travis Kelce raved about his teammate. Kelce praised him for his worth ethic and also mentioned a brand-new facet of his game.
