ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (AP) — Chiefs cornerback Rashad Fenton returned from the physically unable to perform list on Tuesday, giving him plenty of time to test out his surgically repaired shoulder and ramp up in training camp before the start of the regular season. Fenton is expected to start along with first-round draft pick Trent McDuffie and breakout star L’Jarius Sneed, though he might be fighting for playing time after missing the entire offseason program. That’s because a couple of younger players, including fourth-round pick Joshua Williams, have impressed Kansas City coaches early in camp. Fenton started eight of his…

Both spoke to The AP on condition of anonymity because the negotiations were not being made public. The deal would not have given ESPN…

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (AP) — Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Isiah Pacheco were chosen by the Kansas City Chiefs on opposite ends of the draft spectrum, one of them a first-round pick with the accompanying expectations and the other a seventh-round longshot. Midway through training camp, they might as well have been picked one after the other. That’s because Edwards-Helaire, the incumbent-if-injury prone starter, and Pacheco, the unheralded rookie, have swapped first-team reps on a near-daily basis. And while veterans Jerick McKinnon and Ronald Jones II are fighting for roster spots of their own, the competition between Edwards-Helaire and Pacheco has become…
