Chiefs Rookie Mansoor Delane Reports Shoulder Progress, Practices in No‑Contact Jersey

He says the shoulder is improving and that he is focused on conditioning and learning the defense as he works toward full contact.

Overview

  • Mansoor Delane told reporters he is feeling better from a shoulder issue and is practicing at Chiefs camp in a yellow no‑contact jersey to limit contact while he recovers.
  • Delane emphasized he is concentrating on getting his conditioning back and on-field timing with teammates as he adapts from college to the NFL.
  • The yellow jersey signals restricted participation under standard training‑camp protocols and the team has not issued a firm timetable for his return to full contact.
  • Delane arrives in Kansas City with a high college pedigree, having led LSU with 11 pass breakups in 2025, earned First Team All‑SEC and unanimous All‑American honors, and been a Jim Thorpe Award finalist.
  • Coaches praise his work ethic but note the injury came during aggressive offseason reps, and his near-term availability will shape how quickly he competes for meaningful defensive snaps.
