Saturday, July 25
Rookie cornerback Mansoor Delane, the Chiefs' top draft pick this year, participated in Saturday's practice while wearing a noncontact yellow jersey usually worn only by quarterbacks, a precaution for him since he missed the mandatory minicamp with a shoulder injury.
During the 7-on-7 periods, Delane had repetitions at both of the cornerback spots. One of his best coverage moments was when he effectively smothered undrafted rookie receiver Jeff Caldwell down the field's perimeter. Delane, though, also knew he had some first-day mistakes.
"The first day is always ups and downs," Delane said, smiling. "I'm a guy [where] if I lose reps, it motivates me to get better. That just means I've got more room to grow. I almost get excited about those things, but at the same time you don't want the same mistake to keep happening."

Delane is projected to be a starter for longtime defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo, a player tasked with helping replace Trent McDuffie, who was traded this offseason to the Los Angeles Rams. Spagnuolo made sure to let Delane know he'll be a main focus of his teaching over the next month.
"I'm the guy they picked first," Delane said of the Chiefs drafting him at No. 6. "I'm a guy who likes to be the underdog, even though I feel the spotlight could be on me. I still have an underdog mindset, but I'm competing to get a starting job."
One of the best passes Saturday from quarterback Patrick Mahomes was at Delane's expense. In the red zone 7-on-7 period, Mahomes threw a perfect intermediate pass to receiver Jimmy Holiday, who caught a 20-yard touchdown in the back corner of the end zone with Delane trailing in man-to-man coverage.
"[He's] as advertised," Delane said of Mahomes. "He's a great quarterback."
More observations from the day:
Before Saturday's practice, the Chiefs put defensive tackle Omarr Norman-Lott (right knee) and tight end John Michael Gyllenborg (sprained knee) on the physically unable to perform list. "Big guys with ACLs, it takes a little bit of time to get them back and fully strengthened up and ready to go," Reid said Friday of Norman-Lott, the 2025 second-round pick. "We've just got to keep the strength part of it coming with him."
