Mecole Hardman has been the clear-cut second-best wide receiver at camp - and in a bit of a good surprise for Chiefs fans, I find that Marcus Kemp is pushing Demarcus Robinson and Byron Pringle offensively.

Running backs (3): Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Darrel Williams, Jerrick McKinnon The other two quarterbacks on the roster - Shane Buechele and Anthony Gordon - are continuing their battle for a single practice squad position, and there has been no real separation yet. There is no change here, with the Chiefs keeping two quarterbacks - the game’s best player and his backup from last season.

Their first cut - to 85 players - will happen on Tuesday. Joseph on Wednesday before a padded practice on Thursday, a day off Friday and their first preseason game on Saturday. The Kansas City Chiefs have a day off from training camp in St.
