Chiefs | Two unavailable for preseason game Wed Aug 20, 03:47 PM
Kansas City Chiefs WR Jalen Royals (knee) and TE Jake Briningstool (hamstring) will not play in the final preseason game, according to head coach Andy Reid.
Link to story Chiefs | Hollywood Brown back at practice Tue Aug 19, 12:07 AM
Kansas City Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown (ankle, foot) returned to practice Sunday, Aug. 17, and also participated in practice Monday, Aug. 18.
| Footballguys view: The Chiefs plan to play their starters in their final preseason game, but head coach Andy Reid said that there's been no decision about whether Brown could be among them. "We'll see how he progresses through this thing," Reid said. "He's taking it slow, and we don't want any setbacks." Brown was limited to five games last season, so it's easy to understand why the Chiefs want to avoid further absences. Given the uncertainty about how long Rashee Rice will be available, it's all the more important for Brown to be on the field this fall. |

Link to story Chiefs | Rashee Rice cleared to travel to Brazil Sat Aug 16, 10:55 AM
Kansas City Chiefs WR Rashee Rice has received clearance to travel with the team and enter Brazil for their Week 1 game versus the Los Angeles Chargers, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Back in July, Rice pleaded guilty to a pair of felonies in relation to a multi-car crash. There was a concern that Rice might not be allowed into Brazil based on that country's policies, but all is cleared now. Rice is still facing a suspension, but the league is going to hold a disciplinary hearing on September 30th. After that, we'll know how long Rice is suspended with most expecting him to miss about a month. Stay tuned. |

Chiefs | Rashee Rice hearing set for Sept. 30 Thu Aug 14, 10:41 AM
Kansas City Chiefs WR Rashee Rice's disciplinary hearing with the league is scheduled for Sept. 30.
| Footballguys view: This means Rice will play in the first four games. He should still get a 4-6 game suspension, but he'll serve it later in the season. Of course, it's the NFL discipline process, so nothing is certain, but we would process as if Rice will miss games during the middle of the season instead of at the beginning. |

Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes is scheduled to play the first quarter in the preseason game Saturday, Aug. 9, according to head coach Andy Reid.

Chiefs | No practice for Rashee Rice Wed Aug 6, 02:47 PM
Kansas City Chiefs WR Rashee Rice (groin) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Aug. 6, because of a groin injury.
| Footballguys view: Rice is coming back from the knee injury he suffered in Week 4 last year, and now he has to treat this groin problem. The injury is not a huge concern at this point, but it's something Fantasy GMs should be monitoring for the rest of the month. Rice has a current ADP of WR21, but he's got the upside to push for WR1 numbers on that offense if he's healthy. |

Link to story Chiefs | Tyquan Thornton continues to shine Thu Jul 31, 01:41 AM
Kansas City Chiefs WR Tyquan Thornton has been 'one of the most impressive pass catchers in camp,' according to ESPN's Nate Taylor, who notes that Thornton has seen extra reps with the first-team offense due to the absence of WRs Xavier Worthy (concussion) and Hollywood Brown (ankle).
| Footballguys view: It's good that Thornton is making the most of his opportunities. Thornton has a ton of speed, but the Patriots moved on from the former second-round pick because he never played up to his potential. The Chiefs added him to their practice squad last year, and he's certainly on an offense that can utilize that speed and downfield ability. He's down the depth chart, so Thornton will have to continue impressing if he wants to make the 53-man roster. |

Kansas City Chiefs TE Jake Briningstool (hamstring) did not participate in practice Tuesday, July 29.
| Footballguys view: An undrafted free agent on a depth chart with Travis Kelce, Noah Gray, Robert Tonyan, and Jared Wiley was already a long shot to make the 53-man roster. Any time away from practice will only make his chances slimmer. |
Chiefs | Xavier Worthy injures head Tuesday Tue Jul 29, 03:04 PM
Kansas City Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy (head) suffered a head injury during practice Tuesday, July 29.
| Footballguys view: The entire Chiefs' wide receiver room seems to be dealing with some ailment this week. It's still unclear what exactly happened to Worthy. However, if he enters concussion protocol, expect him to miss at least a handful of practices. |
Chiefs | Skyy Moore leaves early Tue Jul 29, 02:54 PM
Kansas City Chiefs WR Skyy Moore (hamstring) left practice early Tuesday, July 29, because of a hamstring injury.

Link to story Chiefs | Jalen Royals logs first-team reps Thu Jul 24, 01:29 AM
Kansas City Chiefs WR Jalen Royals took most of his reps with the first-team offense on Wednesday, July 23, frequently lining up alongside WRs Hollywood Brown and Xavier Worthy, according to ESPN's Nate Taylor, who points out that the player Royals frequently replaced was WR Rashee Rice.
| Footballguys view: Royals is a receiver with a ton of run-after-the-catch ability. In addition, Royals has a nose for the end zone with 21 touchdowns over the last two seasons at Utah State. Now with the Chiefs, Royals gets to turn short passes into long gains. He needs to run more refined routes, but that's not going to stop him from excelling in what he does best. Royals is a player we appreciate in dynasty formats. |
Chiefs | Rashee Rice expected to be suspended before Week 1 Thu Jul 24, 01:05 AM

Chiefs | Rashee Rice to be a full participant Tue Jul 22, 12:04 AM
Kansas City Chiefs WR Rashee Rice (knee) will be a full participant during training camp and will receive his normal amount of reps during practices despite a possible upcoming suspension, according to head coach Andy Reid.
| Footballguys view: "We're gonna progress as normal with him," Reid said. Still, Rice is also recovering from a torn LCL that ended his 2024 season in Week 4; we should expect others to get plenty of reps in camp. "We always rotate that position (wide receivers), depending on what happens here in the future, whoever needs to play will be able to step in," said Reid. "They'll know what they're doing and be in good shape to do it." We'll continue to monitor news on Rice, who has fallen from WR17 to WR29 on this news, closely in coming weeks. |

Link to story Chiefs | Suspension likely for Rashee Rice Thu Jul 17, 02:08 PM

| Footballguys view: With the legal process done, the NFL can now make moves to decide on a suspension for Rice. The length is unknown at this time, and the timing of the suspension will be something to monitor as well. Fantasy GMs are excited about Rice coming back this year after an injury-shortened 2024. Rice caught 24 passes for 288 yards and two touchdowns before going down with a knee injury in Week 4. His current ADP of WR17 may take a bit of a fall with this news. |
