The Kansas City Chiefs took the field for the 19th and final practice of training camp on Thursday morning as the back-to-back defending Super Bowl champions continued their preparation for the upcoming season.

Thirty-one days after the rookies and quarterbacks initially reported to Missouri Western State University, the practice officially marked the conclusion of this year's training camp.

"The people of St. Joseph and Missouri Western State University [were wonderful]. We appreciate all of their hospitality," said Head Coach Andy Reid. "What a great job they did taking care of us, from the people making our beds to the people cooking our food and the grounds crew. Everybody was first class, and we appreciate that."

As for what took place on the field, quarterback Patrick Mahomes was satisfied with what the Chiefs were able to achieve over the last four weeks.

"I thought it was a competitive camp, that was the best thing," Mahomes said. "Every day, you didn't know if the offense or defense was going to win, and that's when it's a great camp. You want to compete. There were days the defense got after us, and there were days that I felt like we had the advantage. That was the [best] thing that I took from camp…It was the competitive nature."

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

1. It was Military Appreciation Day Presented by GEHA.

The Chiefs welcomed military members from more than 15 bases to experience practice from the VIP tent on Thursday morning. Following practice, the service members in attendance had an opportunity to head down to the field and break down the huddle with the team.

It's always a special day that seeks to honor those who make our freedoms a reality.

"It was great to have the military out here," Coach Reid said. "[They] allow all of us to do what we do. I had a chance to go to Afghanistan a few years back to see [our military] in action, and what a confidence-builder that was to see and to know how dedicated they are. They give us the chance to do all of this."

2. The Chiefs wrapped up camp with a lighter, "10-10-10" practice.

The Chiefs took the field for a lighter, "10-10-10" practice on Thursday following consecutive padded practices on Tuesday and Wednesday.

A "10-10-10" session, which is not padded, consists of what is essentially a circuit of 10 offensive plays, 10 defensive plays and 10 special teams plays. Each segment is of the 11-on-11 variety, but unlike a standard period, the idea is to demonstrate what success looks like for the three respective phases. During the "offensive period," for example," the first-team offense generally competes against the second or third-team defense in an effort to skew the results toward the offense.

The opposing unit is still encouraged to make plays, but if the concept plays out properly, each segment of the team will experience what success looks like within the given scheme.

The Chiefs completed nearly three full circuits of the "10-10-10" format on Thursday with three offensive periods, three defensive periods and two special teams segments.

Often described as an opportunity to work on the mental side of things while taking a bit of a physical break, Thursday's "10-10-10" session completed a camp in which the Chiefs took the field in pads 11 times over the course of 19 practices.

3. Both sides of the ball took part in some red zone work.

The third "offensive" period of the morning was dedicated to the red zone, and fortunately for the fans in attendance, Patrick Mahomes and company didn't disappoint. Mahomes threw eight touchdowns during the period, finding wide receiver Xavier Worthy, tight end Travis Kelce, running back Deneric Prince, wide receiver Rashee Rice (twice), tailback Isiah Pacheco (twice) and wide receiver Justyn Ross through the air.

Quarterback Carson Wentz also handled two snaps during the "offensive" segment and made the most of them, slinging touchdown passes to Pacheco and Rice.

Following the "offensive" period, the first-team defense elected to remain in the red zone for their dedicated segment of practice, too. Cornerbacks Jaylen Watson and Chris Roland-Wallace each recorded pass-breakups during the period, and on the final snap of the morning, safety Deon Bush punched the ball free after the intended receiver appeared to initially make the catch. It was a fitting way to conclude the final "defensive" portion of this year's camp.

4. Running back Louis Rees-Zammit received an extended opportunity to kick the ball.

Rees-Zammit, who returned to practice on Thursday after missing Wednesday's session with a back injury, wrapped up his first professional training camp by showing off his kicking skills.

The Chiefs took part in two special teams segments during Thursday's "10-10-10" practice, and during both, Rees-Zammit was responsible for kickoff duties. Rees-Zammit handled seven kickoffs during the initial period before tallying four more kicks the second time around. Kicker Harrison Butker later took over when the Chiefs worked on their onside kick procedure a bit later.

While Rees-Zammit showed off his leg, Kansas City specifically worked on the kickoff return scheme during the first special teams segment before practicing kickoff coverage as part of the second period.

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

The Chiefs were without offensive tackle Jawaan Taylor (shoulder), offensive lineman Wanya Morris (bone bruise on knee), wide receiver Hollywood Brown (shoulder), tailback Clyde Edwards-Helaire (ill), wide receiver Jaaron Hayek (shoulder), defensive lineman Chris Jones (shoulder), offensive lineman McKade Mettauer (knee) and safety Bryan Cook (personal reasons) for Thursday's practice.

Regarding Taylor, who left Wednesday's practice early with a shoulder injury, Coach Reid reported that Taylor won't play on Saturday, but he should be OK moving forward.

As for the players who did not take the field during the Chiefs' time in St. Joseph, defensive end BJ Thompson (who suffered a medical emergency in June) remains on the "Non-Football Injury/Illness" list while defensive end Charles Omenihu (knee) is still on the "Physically Unable to Perform" list.

The Chiefs will next take the field for some preseason action on Saturday as they clash with the Detroit Lions at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.
