Chiefs injury, absence updates from Day 9 of training camp
The Kansas City Chiefs held their ninth training camp practice on Saturday at Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph, Missouri.
One player returned from injury briefly on Saturday, before exiting practice again. WR Daurice Fountain was back at practice after missing the last practice on Thursday with a groin injury. He gave this practice a shot, but he suffered a finger injury shortly after the install period. FOX 4 KC’s PJ Green noticed him heading over to the medical tent on the sideline.
WR Daurice Fountain walked slowly off the field.
Didn’t see what happened but was comforted by Jody Fortson before he went into the injury tent.#Chiefs

Fountain will get an X-Ray on his finger to determine the severity of the injury.

TE Jody Fortson remains absent from practice as he nurses a quad injury. He’s now missed five practice sessions. WR Gary Jennings suffered a concussion after a collision in the indoor practice facility on Wednesday. He remained absent from practice on Saturday as well.
