Rookie edge rusher R Mason Thomas missed the Kansas City Chiefs’ final “training-camp-style” practice Thursday due to a hamstring injury. This news is a gut punch, especially with only 11 days until Week 1, and starting left tackle Josh Simmons already out with a back issue. Double the worry for Chiefs fans.
Injury History Haunts
Pete Sweeney confirmed the hamstring, and Matt Derrick saw Thomas wearing a compression sleeve on his right leg. This is his first injury report entry this camp. But Thomas isn’t new to this; at Oklahoma, he missed multiple games in three of four years with ankle and quad injuries. That past makes this current hamstring problem a serious red flag for his Week 1 availability.
Monday Is The Deadline
The Chiefs have three days off, then it’s game-week practices starting Monday. The question is huge: will Thomas’ hamstring keep him sidelined, or can he participate, even if limited? Chiefs Kingdom needs to see him out there. The clock is ticking for Week 1, and the pressure is on for Thomas to recover fast.
