OK, typo alert: That should read “going”, not “goring”.

Chiefs say WR Jalen Royals (knee) will not practice today.

Teams adds everyone else, which includes WR Xavier Worthy (shoulder), is expected to get in work.

We’ll have to wait to see how much Worthy actually does when the injury reports comes out later today.

Here’s why Chiefs are primed to unleash a ‘track team’ against defenses in 2025 Optimism is high for the deep ball to make a consistent return to the offense

From comparisons to a 4x1 track team to a warning of “warm up your hammies,” this year’s version of the Chiefs WR group brings hope of the deep ball returning.

It starts with a key factor - speed.

Lots of it.

Here's what Cooper McDonald said about making 53-player roster Training camp standout earned his way to initial 53-player roster

Caught up with Chiefs rookie LB Cooper McDonald in the locker room today.

McDonald, who made the initial 53-player roster, shared with me that the Chiefs were the only team in the entire league to invite him to a rookie minicamp tryout.

He definitely made the most of the opportunity.

This is a fair question.

Could be a product of the team needing WR depth because of the uncertainty surrounding WR Rashee Rice.

Initial 53-man roster cuts is forever a numbers game at each position group.

Chiefs are waiving G CJ Hanson, according to a source.

Hanson took a lot of second-team reps at RG during camp. He’s a prime candidate to bring back on the practice squad.
