The spotlight is on the Chiefs’ left tackle position, as second-year third-round pick Wanya Morris hopes to hold off rookie second-round pick Kingsley Suamataia in the battle for the right to protect Patrick Mahomes’s blindside.
Through the first two days of practice, the duo split snaps with the first-team offensive line.
On Tuesday, Morris took the first-team reps and Suamataia took the second-team work.
How impactful is that development in the early days of camp?
Chiefs head coach Andy Reid spoke to the media after practice and discussed the offensive line and KC’s left tackle battle. Reid noted early in his press availability that offensive line coach Andy Heck dictates the O-line rotations as the team looks for “the five best” linemen on the team, especially before pads come on at camp.
At this point, it’s worth noting that Morris got the first crack at a full day of first-team work (again, before the team puts on pads for the first time on Friday), but Suamataia could get the first-team treatment on Wednesday and it wouldn’t be a shocking twist.
Still, working off limited snaps and even more limited physicality, Reid was asked how he thought Morris had performed in camp so far.
