Chiefs | Hollywood Brown able to practice Sun Aug 31, 02:11 PM

Kansas City Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown (ankle) was able to practice Sunday, Aug. 31, and head coach Andy Reid said the veteran receiver 'should be fine' for the regular-season opener. Brown missed time in training camp and the preseason due to an ankle injury.

Footballguys view: Brown is worth drafting in typical leagues to see if he gets off to a hot start with Rashee Rice suspended and fourth round rookie Jalen Royals likely out for at least Week 1 with a knee issue. The Chiefs also have veterans JuJu Smith-Schuster and Tyquan Thornton, so it's possible that he is eased back into the lineup in the season opener in Brazil vs. the Chargers.

Chiefs | Jalen Royals expected to miss Week 1 Fri Aug 29, 01:11 PM

Kansas City Chiefs WR Jalen Royals (knee) is expected to miss Week 1 against the Los Angeles Chargers, head coach Andy Reid announced on Friday, Aug. 20.

Footballguys view: Marquise Brown has had a quiet summer after missing most of camp with an ankle injury. but the team will rely on him to play a big role in Week 1. Tyquan Thornton made the final roster after generating some camp buzz and could get some snaps with Royals out and Rashee Rice suspended for the season opener in Brazil against the Chargers.

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.

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.

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.
