Cyrus Allen stood out on Day 1 of Chiefs training camp, catching three passes from Patrick Mahomes, including a touchdown, during 7-on-7 drills. The session also featured first-team reps at right tackle for Jaylon Moore and early battles in the secondary, with coach Andy Reid praising Allen’s talent and progress as KC begins full-squad practices.
The Chiefs opened their first full-team practice in St. Joseph with Cyrus Allen drawing early trust from Patrick Mahomes in red-zone and seven-on-seven drills, while Rashee Rice left early and L’Jarius Sneed departed mid-practice. Omarr Norman-Lott is on the PUP list and Mansoor Delane wore a non-contact jersey. Defensively, Sneed lined up outside with a nickel rotation of Roland-Wallace and Canady, and Cooper McDonald started as the third linebacker in a five-man front featuring Jones, Tonga, Karlaftis, Gillotte and Mason Thomas (Gillotte as a SAM). Offensively, Allen’s emergence contrasted with Jalen Royals’ rough day; Mahomes connected with Kelce and Butker hit several long kicks. Punt return duties included Remigio, Smith, Allen and De Jesus, as Kansas City begins ramping toward full pads in training camp.
The Chiefs selected Cincinnati wide receiver Cyrus Allen at pick 175 in the fifth round, prompting instant analysis from three Arrowhead Pride writers who graded the pick: A from Rocky Magana and B from Bron Kopp Jr. Allen posted 13 touchdowns and 13.2 yards per catch in 2025, excels as a slot receiver with route-running and sure hands, and could carve out a back-end roster role and possibly return duties despite being undersized and not among the fastest options.
