Tyreek Hill, the Kansas City Chiefs star wide receiver, missed practice due to tendinitis in his knee. The wideout tried to play through Tuesday practice before leaving early. The team reports it was just precautionary but anytime there is an absence of a star player it is noteworthy. Teams are typically conservative at this time of training camp, especially with a veteran star player of his caliber. We are not particularly worried about a minor tendinitis issue, except that it can become chronic. If it does, it obviously would affect and linger into the season. This is something to watch however it seems the Chiefs are trying to do the right thing, and prevent a reoccurring problem by giving him precautionary time off early on.
Update 8/5/21
Hill is back at practice after missing just one day. The goal is to limit the chronic issues. This may take more days but should be ok moving forward.
