Free agency is around the corner for the #Chiefs. @mattderrick.bsky.social and I break down KC’s biggest needs, players to watch, and how the Trent McDuffie trade impacts the plan. #ChiefsKingdom #NFLFreeAgency YouTube: youtu.be/ZJ4ylYID3wQ?... Audio: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/4...

💯 Throw at your pro day to your receivers in a familiar environment. Only QBs who should consider throwing at Combine are from small schools that don’t draw big crowds for pro day.

Patrick Mahomes has very specific ideas about what traits he wants in a potential new Chiefs' offensive coordinator if Matt Nagy departs for another job. chiefsdigest.com/patrick-maho...

More to come over at Chiefs Digest on the Patrick Mahomes Press conference today, but here's the entirety for your consumption: youtu.be/oAeZ5tk4fsU

Since 2020, when the NFL began twisting its schedule into a pretzel to play on Christmas Day, road teams are 8-4. Home teams with wins: 2023 PHI (11-4) 33, NYG (4-11) 25 2022 LAR (5-10) 51, DEN (4-11) 14 2021 GB (12-3) 24, CLE (7-8) 22 2020 NO (11-4) 52, MIN (6-9) 33

You can’t see from this entire angle, but I think I might be photobombing at least three separate TV news live shots right now.

Couple of quick notes from Topeka and the Chiefs' relocation announcement: * Mark Donovan said decision was made Friday * No commitment on whether new stadium will include PSLs * No decision non PSLs yet * No decision yet on whether the Arrowhead name will be attached to the new stadium

Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly officially announces the state has reached an agreement to bring the Kansas City Chiefs to Kansas. The new stadium will be in Wyandotte County and be surrounded by an entertainment district. The team’s new headquarters and practice facility will be based in Olathe, Kansas.

Have to wonder if this is how Leo Chenal's career with the Chiefs comes to an end. If so, tough way to go with how much he's given to this team and his hard work and dedication. On the other hand, great to see hard work and dedication pay off for Chu Godrick & Chris Oladokun.

Slew of Saturday roster moves for Chiefs: Signed OT Chu Godrick, QB Chris Oladokun and RB Dameon Pierce to the active roster Placed LB Leo Chenal and RT Jawaan Taylor on injured reserve Waived RB Elijah Mitchell Elevated LB Cole Christiansen and OT Matt Waletzko from practice squad.

Bunch of Chiefs OUT for Sunday vs. Titans: WR Rashee Rice (concussion) WR Tyquan Thornton (concussion) RT Jawaan Taylor (elbow) OT Jaylon Moore (knee) DT Derrick Nnadi (illness) LB Leo Chenal (shoulder) CB Trent McDuffie (knee) Out but not on the 53: CB Nazeeh Johnson & TE Jake Briningstool.

A surprise with Chiefs CB Trent McDuffie (knee) on the field for stretch Thursday. Not practicing: WR Rashee Rice (concussion), WR Tyquan Thornton (concussion), RT Jawaan Taylor (elbow), OT Jaylon Moore (knee) and LB Leo Chenal (shoulder).

Chiefs as expected rolling in warmups with LT Esa Pole, LG Kingsley Suamatia, C Creed Humphrey, RG Mike Caliendo and RT Jaylon Moore. Backing up today are C/G Hunter Nourzad, OG CJ Hanson and OT Chu Godrick.

The elevation of Chukwuebuka “Chu” Godrick will mark his NFL debut Sunday, he will at minimum play on special teams. Incredible three-year journey from Lagos, Nigeria to the Kansas City roster through the NFL International Player Pathway program. Inspiring story.

The Chiefs are placing OT Wanya Morris on injured reserve, and signing IOL C.J. Hanson to the active roster, per source. The Chiefs are also elevating OT Chukwuebuka Godrick from the practice squad for Sunday’s game.

Chiefs CB Trent McDuffie was limited while RG Trey Smith (ankle) was a full go in Wednesday’s no-helmet practice. RT Jawaan Taylor (triceps/knee), OT Wanya Morris (knee) and WR Hollywood Brown (personal) did not practice.

Quick looks at Chiefs CB Trent McDuffie (knee) and RG Trey Smith (ankle) on the practice field Wednesday. WR Nikko Remigio (concussion) was also back in action.

Chiefs OT Wanya Morris is expected to land on injured reserve, a source confirmed. While ACL appears intact, there is additional ligament damage, and the medical options are being considered, I’m told.

It’s a balmy 32 degrees @GEHAField about two and a half hours before kickoff for Sunday Night Football between the Chiefs and Texans. Wind at 8 mph but looks and feels a bit more brisk than that.

Your virtual roll call indoors on Thursday for Chiefs practice. I did not see RG Trey Smith (ankle/back), RT Jawaan Taylor (pectoral) or S Chris Roland-Wallace (back).

Chiefs inactive list vs. Cowboys on Thanksgiving in Week 13: RG Trey Smith TE Noah Gray S Chris Roland-Wallace RB Elijah Mitchell WR Jalen Royals OT Esa Pole CB Kristian Fulton Chiefs elevated Pole and S Mike Edwards from the practice squad for today's game.

Chiefs issue their estimated injury report for Monday since they did not practice. No real surprises. Trey Smith & Noah Gray unlikely to play vs. Dallas. The three to watch Tuesday are WR Rashee Rice, WR Xavier Worthy and LB Leo Chenal. Encouraging to see Patrick Mahomes as a full projection.

I can confirm the Chiefs are planning to sign RB Dameon Pierce to the practice squad. @schultzreport.bsky.social had it first. Pierce will fly into Kansas City Monday for a physical and sign if all goes well.

Chiefs captains today are Travis Kelce, Trent McDuffie and James Winchester.

Chiefs receivers on targets more than 20 air yards downfield: Thornton: 19 targets, 7 catches, 286 yards, TD Brown: 6 targets, 3 catches, 122 yards Smith-Schuster: 6 targets, 4 catches, 100 yds Rice: 3 targets, 2 catches, 54 yds Worthy: 10 targets, 1 catch, 37 yds Remigio: 1 target, 1 catch, 21 yds

Chiefs inactive list vs. Colts in Week 12: RB Isiah Pacheco RB Elijah Mitchell WR Jalen Royals TE Jared Wiley OT Wanya Morris CB Joshua Williams KC elevated RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire from the practice squad for today's game.

A rejuvenated Travis Kelce is having the best season in NFL history for a tight end his age. Could that tempt him into returning in 2026 and beyond? Here's what he said Friday. chiefsdigest.com/chiefs-travi...

Josh Simmons has returned to the Chiefs, but Andy Reid didn't commit to returning him to the starting left tackle role in Week 11 vs. the Broncos. "We know what Josh is capable of and all that. So we'll just see where we're at when they get back." chiefsdigest.com/chiefs-josh-...

The Bills didn’t just beat the #Chiefs … they picked ‘em apart like a Buffalo wing. A NEW episode of 41 is the Mic with @mattderrick.bsky.social and myself is now up. #ChiefsKingdom YouTube: youtu.be/SDuT-e2ldV8?... Audio: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/4...

Chiefs list LT Jaylon Moore (illness) and RG Trey Smith (back) as questionable for Sunday’s game against the Buffalo Bills, although the expectations are that both will play barring setbacks.

The Chiefs have elevated OG CJ Hanson and DT Marlon Tuipulotu for tonight‘s game against the Washington Commanders, per source.

Chiefs officially list RG Trey Smith (back) as doubtful and LT Josh Simmons (personal) as out for Monday night vs. the Commanders. Everyone else practiced in full on Saturday and has no gameday designation for Monday.

Chiefs Saturday practice video: Travis Kelce being Travis

OT Esa Pole cleared waivers today and is now officially a free agent after being let go by the New York Yets yesterday, per source. I'm told there is a strong interest on both sides for Pole to return to the Kansas City Chiefs on the practice squad.

VIDEO: Chiefs Andy Reid says LT Josh Simmons won’t practice Thursday but says the situation is “positive, not negative.” RG Trey Smith (back spasms) and RB Kareem Hunt (knee bruise) won’t practice Thursday.

With WR Rashee Rice returning today from his six-game suspension, the Chiefs have a one-week roster exemption. He won’t count against the 53-player roster until the team activates him. That means they also need to make a move until Saturday for him to play vs. Raiders.

Chiefs inactive list vs. Lions in Week 6 on Sunday night: LT Joshua Simmons RB Elijah Mitchell T Jared Wiley DE Malik Herring CB Kristian Fulton

Welcome to GEHA Field at Arrowhead for Sunday Night Football, Chiefs vs. Lions. Temperature 86, forecast 81 at kickoff. Winds 15-24 miles per hour. It should be an adventure tonight.

Full breakdown of the inactive list for both the Chiefs and Jaguars, with Xavier Worthy in and Omar Norman-Lott out for KC. Jags will also miss DE Travon Walker. chiefsdigest.com/xavier-worth...

Chiefs LB Leo Chenal intercepted his first NFL pass Sunday off Lamar Jackson. His last interception (and only college interception came on Nov. 14, 2020, against Michigan off of … Joe Milton.

Will be interested to see what Andy Reid says about Travis Kelce interaction. Kelce in the locker room on Friday told me he still has "that desire to be out there every single play, without causing any conflict, or, you know, messing with the flow of the offense.” chiefsdigest.com/workload-not...

Breaking down what Andy Reid said about the status of Xavier Worthy and Jalen Royals, what happened to land the right wrist of Patrick Mahomes on the injury report, and what to expect with DE Mike Danna and CB Kristian Fulton out. chiefsdigest.com/injury-repor...

Chiefs tag WR Xavier Worthy and WR Jalen Royals as QUESTIONABLE on Friday's injury report for Sunday night's game at the New York Giants. Worth was limited all three days this week, Royals was a full go Thursday and Friday. DE Mike Danna and CB Kristian Fulton are out.

When you’re a solo multimedia journalist and you don’t accurately account for how tall Omarr Norman-Lott is before heading to the locker room and being in two places at the same time.
