Chiefs | Rashee Rice lands on IR Thu Oct 3, 03:55 PM
Kansas City Chiefs WR Rashee Rice (knee) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list on Thursday, Oct. 3.

Chiefs | Rashee Rice update Thu Oct 3, 12:55 PM
Kansas City Chiefs WR Rashee Rice (knee) is waiting for the swelling in his knee to subside before going for additional testing next week, head coach Andy Reid told reporters Thursday, Oct. 3.
| Footballguys view: Does Rice have a torn ACL or not? That's what every Fantasy GM is waiting on. When the swelling goes down, further testing will be done. After that, we'll know the fate of Rice. |

Chiefs | Clyde Edwards-Helaire designated to return Thu Oct 3, 09:44 AM
Kansas City Chiefs RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire (personal) was designated to return from the Reserve/Non-Football Injury list on Wednesday, Oct. 2.
| Footballguys view: There's an opportunity here for Edwards-Helaire when he's able to get back out there. Kareem Hunt may be the lead back for the Chiefs now, but Edwards-Helaire might have more left in the tank. He doesn't need to come off the field as he can make plays as a runner or receiver out of the backfield. It will be interesting to see how he's worked into the mix. |

Chiefs | More tests needed for Rashee Rice Tue Oct 1, 12:07 AM
Updating previous reports, Kansas City Chiefs WR Rashee Rice (knee) will need to undergo more testing after tests done Monday, Sept. 30, did not show the full extent of the injury, according to sources. The team is not expected to receive full results until next week.
| Footballguys view: Again, this is an interesting development. While initial reports suggested a torn ACL, the fact that testing on Monday didn't confirm it is unusual. The expectation is still an extended absence, but we'll obviously be following this one closely. |

Chiefs | As We Await Rashee Rice Test Results, Speculation Increases Mon Sep 30, 06:14 PM
After reports on Sunday night indicated that the team feared Rice suffered a torn ACL, which would end his season, the Chiefs got their first glimmer of cautiously promising news on Monday afternoon. Appearing on NFL Live, Adam Schefter of ESPN provided the first bit of optimism regarding Rice's status. "Here's what we know right now," Schefter said. "We do know that Rashee Rice is going to miss an extended period of time. We do not yet know that that ACL is torn. He's continuing to go through testing and there has not yet been confirmation that it is torn, as the Chiefs feared in the postgame locker room after they beat the Chargers. Again, it's going to be a bad knee injury, but they're hoping that it's not as bad as they feared. He's still going through the testing."
| Footballguys view: While Schefter notes that even in the best-case scenario, Rice should be expected to "miss an extended period of time," that's tremendously optimistic compared to Sunday night's reporting. After the game, several insiders, including Schefter, reported that the team feared the worst after an initial look at Rice's knee. We'll continue to watch for more, but as SI.com's Joshua Brisco suggests, based on the initial reporting, anything less than a season-ending injury would be a positive outcome for Rice and the Chiefs. |

Chiefs | Reid: Still Waiting For Test Result On Rashee Rice Mon Sep 30, 03:02 PM
The Chiefs are bracing for bad news on Rashee Rice, but head coach Andy Reid did not have a confirmed diagnosis when he spoke to reporters in his Monday news conference. "As far as Rashee's injury goes, we're still testing him on things here," Reid said. "So, I don't have a definite [diagnosis] for you right now. But we will get it to you. He's not going to be available, obviously, this week. So we're going to make sure we get all the tests that need to be done, done. And then we'll let you know on that."
| Footballguys view: Rice is feared to have torn his ACL. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport noted the full answers may not come today. But safe to say he's out indefinitely. Already without Hollywood Brown, the Chiefs currently have Xavier Worthy, Mecole Hardman, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Justin Watson, and Skye Moore at receiver on the 53-man roster. They have Justyn Ross, Nikko Remigio, and Montrell Washington at receiver on the practice squad. We'll continue to watch for more. |

Chiefs | Torn ACL for Rashee Rice? Mon Sep 30, 12:01 AM
Updating earlier reports, Kansas City Chiefs WR Rashee Rice (knee) is feared to have suffered a torn ACL during the team's Week 4 win over the Los Angeles Chargers, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. Rice is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Monday, Sept. 30, to verify the extent of his injury.
| Footballguys view: We're awating the results of that MRI. But as previously noted, As previously noted, Rice's absence will put additional pressure on Patrick Mahomes, who's been in a slump despite the team's 4-0 record. Expect a heavier reliance on veteran tight end Travis Kelce and rookie receiver Xavier Worthy going forward. The Chiefs play the Saints on Monday night in Week 5. |

Chiefs | WR Xavier Worthy Delivers Vs. Chargers; Can He Emerge As More Than A Big-Play Threat? Sun Sep 29, 09:47 PM
The highlight of Sunday's win over the Chargers was provided by Chiefs rookie Xavier Worthy, who reeled in a 54-yard touchdown pass from star quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Worthy also made a game-clinching catch on third down late in the fourth quarter on his way to finishing with career highs of three receptions for 73 yards.
| Footballguys view: Kansas City lost wide receiver Rashee Rice after he was carted off the field with a knee injury; early reports are Rice suffered a season-ending torn ACL. If so, Worthy will be a big part of the offense going forward. As ChiefsDigest.com's Matt Derrick suggested, a couple of routes are virtually impossible to defend. Worthy in man coverage on an underneath crosser is one of them. The question is, can he emerge as more than a big-play threat? The team will need a high-volume receiver with Rice out. It will be interesting to see if Worthy is up to the challenge. |

Chiefs | Kareem Hunt Leads Chiefs Backfield In Win Over Chargers Sun Sep 29, 09:37 PM
Kareem Hunt turned in a big game for the Chiefs Sunday, carrying 14 times for 69 yards and catching two passes for 16 yards, as the Chiefs gutted out a tough 17-10 win in Los Angeles.
| Footballguys view: After sitting out the first couple of drives, Hunt became the featured back. He touched the ball 11 times after halftime and consistently moved it forward. Hunt only had a long run of 10 yards, but it didn't matter. He played more than Carson Steele or Samaje Perine, leading the Chiefs in rushing. Steele's first-quarter fumble mostly eliminated him from the playing rotation, and it will be interesting to see how Hunt's contributions increase next week against the Saints. |

Chiefs | WR Rashee Rice Believed To Have Torn ACL; Will Have MRI To Confirm Sun Sep 29, 07:56 PM
Chiefs WR Rashee Rice is feared to have suffered a torn ACL during Sunday's game vs the Chargers, per sources. Additional testing will be conducted to confirm the initial diagnosis.
| Footballguys view: Multiple outlets are reporting the same, and head coach Andy Reid hinted at a worst-case outcome in his post-game presser. "I feel terrible for Rashee," Reid said, "We will hope for the best." An MRI tomorrow will provide more information. However, as Profootballtalk.com's Michael David Smith suggested, Rice's absence will make it harder for Patrick Mahomes to get out of the slump that has seen him play some of the worst football of his career over the first four games of this season. Expect a heavier reliance on veteran tight end Travis Kelce and rookie receiver Xavier Worthy going forward. The Chiefs play the Saints on Monday night in Week 5. |

Kansas City Chiefs WR Rashee Rice (knee) left the Week 4 game against the Los Angeles Chargers while attempting to make a tackle on an interception. He appeared to be unable to put any weight on his right knee.
| Footballguys view: This is catastrophic for fantasy teams and the Chiefs offense alike. Patrick Mahomes was already struggling to even put up low QB1 numbers, now he's going to be on our benches for at least as long as Rice is out. Travis Kelce is going to be the #1 target by default while Rice is on the mend. |

Chiefs | Patrick Mahomes All Good Despite Foot Getting Caught In Turf Mon Sep 23, 12:25 AM
At the end of Sunday night's victory, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes had to do some creative kneeling because the Falcons still had two timeouts, and Kansas City's drive started with 51 seconds on the clock. On the second one of Mahomes' kneel-downs, he appeared to land awkwardly on his knee -- notably having to shake it off before he downed it for the final time to run out the clock. After the contest, Mahomes said he was just fine.
| Footballguys view: "The turf got me, man," Mahomes told NBC's Melissa Stark. "I was trying to just take a knee, and my foot got stuck, but I'm all good. I'm just glad to get a win." Mahomes finished the game 26-of-39 for 217 yards with two touchdowns and one interception. We'll watch for any signs this will be an ongoing issue as Mahomes and the Chiefs prepare to take on the Chargers in Week 4. |
