Practices won't be open to the public until this weekend, but a select few players will get situated at training camp early on in the week. Things like physical examinations, conditioning tests, closed practices, and team meetings will all begin right away as some of the newest members of the team get acclimated to life at NFL training camp.

This a great opportunity for a player like rookie WR Xavier Worthy, who only had 1.5 practices during OTAs and mandatory minicamp after being sidelined by a minor hamstring injury . It's also going to be a good opportunity for guys like backup QB Carson Wentz to continue to get acclimated to a new system and new offense in Kansas City.

Injured players who are still rehabbing are also brought in early to go through medical evaluations. Guys like Joe Thuney, Leo Chenal, Derrick Nnadi, Jaylen Watson, and others could be among those in attendance.

What's next for the Chiefs after rookies and quarterbacks arrive at training camp?
