There were broadcast reports before KC’s game against Arizona on Friday night that Bowe was seen at the airport, leading to widespread speculation he was about to report for training camp. Bowe, the Chiefs’ leading receiver the past three seasons, was franchised this year but has refused to sign a contract tender that would pay him about $9.5 million for the year.

The Chiefs refused to give Bowe a long-term contract and he has been absent since camp opened on July 27. He is not expected to miss the regular season.
