\"Chiefs<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kansas City\u2019s second-year tight end was able to meet his first goal of the season.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

In the second quarter of the Kansas City Chiefs\u2019\u00a020-17 preseason loss<\/a>\u00a0to the Arizona Cardinals on Saturday, second-year tight end Jared Wiley turned in a big play: he caught a 25-yard pass from reserve quarterback Bailey Zappe.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Unfortunately, the play was negated by a penalty. But for Wiley, just being on the field only nine months after tearing his ACL was a win.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cThat was the goal from the jump,\u201d Wiley recalled after Monday\u2019s training camp practice at Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph. \u201cI remember shortly after I had surgery, I was talking to a couple of the trainers up there. [I was] down on myself \u2014 just not feeling very good \u2014 and so we decided to set a pretty lofty goal for me: that was to get back by training camp. So far, it\u2019s been great. It\u2019s been a great experience, so I couldn\u2019t be happier with it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

While Wiley feels more confident after a successful return to game action, he has continued working with the team\u2019s training staff.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI feel good,\u201d he declared. \u201cYou know, it took me a drive or two to kind of get into the rhythm of the game [on Saturday], but I was kind of expecting that. Being able to be out here and compete with the guys that are out here, I think it\u2019s really helped me both mentally and physically. [It\u2019s] just knowing what I can do \u2014 and then the training staff up here has been great at making sure that I\u2019m taken care of.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Learning what he could do\u00a0off\u00a0<\/em>the field was also part of Wiley\u2019s recovery.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cJust figuring out, really, who I was outside of football [was difficult], to be honest,\u201d he admitted. \u201c[It\u2019s hard] having something like that stripped away from you \u2014 and then having to find a way to still stay involved as much as you can. You really feel like you\u2019re missing out [on] getting to watch these guys play on Sundays. You\u2019re just at the house [with your] feet kicked back. It sucked.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

It was also hard to miss his teammates\u2019 postseason run that ended with a loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX. Wiley was in New Orleans for the final game.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cIt was awful,\u201d Wiley recalled, \u201cjust as it was like that for every game. I loved seeing our success last year, but the competitor in me \u2014 the type of teammate and player that I want to be for these guys? I want to be out there in the action \u2014 and be helping as much as I can.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Now that Wiley is back in the mix, he finds himself in a very talented position group. In addition to franchise legend Travis Kelce (and the ever-reliable Noah Gray), veteran Robert Tonyan is also in the room \u2014 and had an impressive night against the Cardinals.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cY\u2019all see it,\u201d he remarked. \u201cY\u2019all saw it a couple of days ago. The possibilities with the guys in that room? [They] seem endless.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
