ST. JOSEPH, Mo. — Kansas City Chiefs right tackle Jawaan Taylor made his training camp debut after missing their first four practices because of a knee injury, and he was right in the mix with the starters Sunday as they put on pads for the first time.
Backup tight end Tre Watson, who also had been out with a groin injury, passed his physical and joined Taylor on the field.
Taylor has started all 33 regular-season games he has played for Kansas City over the past two seasons. But his blocking metrics, coupled with a propensity for penalties, mean his job is far from secure. The Chiefs signed backup 49ers tackle Jaylon Moore to a two-year, $30 million deal and used their first-round draft pick on Ohio State standout Josh Simmons.
After the first week of camp, Simmons appears to have the inside track on the left tackle job, which was a problem position for the Chiefs all of last season. So when Taylor returned, it was in a rotation with Moore for first-team snaps on Sunday.
