Overview
- Chiefs coach Andy Reid said on Friday that Delane is “playing kind of one‑handed” at camp and that staff are not allowing him to use his injured arm while they monitor his progress.
- Delane suffered a shoulder injury during this summer’s OTAs and was reportedly cleared to take part in rookie practices before arriving in St. Joseph.
- He has participated in every rookie and full‑squad session since, wearing a yellow non‑contact jersey that limits tackling and contact but permits drills focused on movement and positioning.
- Coaches have emphasized footwork, level and technique during his rehab work and plan to further reduce his contact once padded practices begin to avoid stressing the shoulder.
- The Chiefs view Delane as a likely near‑term starter alongside Nohl Williams, so his managed return matters for the team’s cornerback depth and could affect how the club addresses broader pass‑rush and secondary needs.
