I think it’s risky for WRs too. At the Combine you’re catching passes from QBs you haven’t worked with before. Pro day on campus is a better situation.

Defense and OL are less risky at the Combine, but it’s still an unfamiliar environment.

💯

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.

Permanent seat licenses, a one-time fee you pay for the privilege of “owning” a seat and buying tickets for said seat.

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.

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.

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.

To their credit, the OL played well enough to win Sunday night down three starters and with their No. 3 guard, No. 3 OT and No. 5 OT playing. The last time that happened, Mahomes scrambled for almost 500 yards and they got blown out.

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 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.
