The Kansas City Chiefs took the field for the 13th practice of training camp on Monday morning as the back-to-back defending Super Bowl champions continued their preparation for the upcoming season.

Here's a quick rundown of what took place during Monday's practice, and for reference, all previous practice reports are available below:

1. We live-streamed portions of Monday's practice.

We went live from camp on Monday for the fourth and final time this summer. The broadcast included shots from practice in addition to some commentary along the way.

2. The Chiefs worked on short-yardage execution during an 11-on-11 segment.

Kansas City focuses on specific areas during every practice, and on Monday, one clear point of emphasis was moving the chains when facing short third-down situations. The Chiefs executed a variety of play designs during the period, which included completed passes to tight ends Travis Kelce, Noah Gray and Irv Smith.

The Chiefs also competed in yet another "long drive drill" on Monday that challenged the first-team offense with 15 consecutive plays near the end of practice.

"Good work today. The guys are busting their tail and getting after it," said Head Coach Andy Reid. "I appreciate that. It's warm, so they're getting good [work in the heat]."

3. Monday marked the Chiefs' seventh padded practice in the last 11 days.

The Chiefs are in the true "dog days" of training camp up in St. Joseph with 13 full days of practice now in the books. Seven of those practices have been of the padded variety, and when including mornings off from camp, the Chiefs have competed in seven padded practices over the last 11 days.

This is the time of camp where players fighting for roster spots can start to separate themselves, and while the daily grind may seem repetitive, Coach Reid emphasized that every practice offers its own set of challenges.

"We give the guys new stuff to work on every day," Reid said. "We try to stay out of [any slumps]."

4. The Chiefs worked on a "backed up punt" situation during a special teams period.

Punter Matt Araiza was tasked with several "backed up" punts on Monday in which he received the snap and punted the ball away despite standing deep in his own end zone.

A punter normally stands 15 yards behind the line of scrimmage in a standard situation, but that's not always possible if the offense is backed up inside its own 5-yard line. Araiza worked on those unique situations at length on Monday as the Chiefs' new punter, who signed with Kansas City in February, continued to grow under the direction of Assistant Head Coach / Special Teams Coordinator Dave Toub.

"I feel like I've been punting really well. I've continued to grow, and that's probably my favorite part – [growing from] Day 1 to now," Araiza said. "I'm continuing to get better, so I'm looking forward to that continued growth."

Coach Reid agreed with that assessment while sharing his excitement to see Araiza punt in a "live" situation.

"I like him. [He] just [needs to] keep working. Consistency always as you go," Reid said. "You can see it. He's booming the thing. I'm curious to see him in games, let's see how he does there."

5. Here's a look at Monday's injury report.

The Chiefs were without linebacker Nick Bolton (elbow), cornerback Kelvin Joseph (hamstring) and wide receiver Jaaron Hayek (shoulder) for Monday's practice.

Additionally, defensive tackle Chris Jones left practice a bit early due to "a little tweak to his shoulder," according to Coach Reid.

In some good news, wide receiver Kadarius Toney (ankle) participated in Monday's practice after missing time over the weekend.

As for the players who have yet to practice in St. Joseph, safety Justin Reid (quad) and defensive end BJ Thompson (who suffered a medical emergency in June) remain on the "Non-Football Injury/Illness" list.

Defensive end Charles Omenihu and defensive tackle Derrick Nnadi are still on the "PUP," or "Physically Unable to Perform" list and also didn't take the field on Monday.

Next up, the Chiefs will take the field on Tuesday for the 14th practice of training camp. The practice will be open to the general public, but even though most days are free to attend, tickets must be reserved online ahead of time.
