Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones sat out training camp practice Sunday with a groin strain, Matt Derrick of The Associated Press reports. 

When Jones met with reporters a week ago, he joked about lobbying head coach Andy Reid for time off during training camp.

The club had a 2-hour, 15-minute practice Sunday, followed by a roughly 75-minute practice set for Monday and a day off Tuesday. Reid declined to specify how much practice time Jones could miss but stressed Jones was dealing with a legitimate issue. Jones observed practice without pads or a helmet.

“I know he was messing with you guys,” Reid said. “But he does have a (sore) groin there.”

Jones wasn’t the only Kansas City player out Sunday. Receiver Hollywood Brown and running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire also missed practice because of an illness.
