Chiefs | Patrick Mahomes already attacking his ACL Rehab Tue Dec 30, 01:29 PM
Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is in the beginning stages of his rehab after undergoing surgery to repair his torn ACL suffered during Kansas City's Week 15 loss to the Chargers. Head coach Andy Reid said on Monday that Mahomes has been around the team as the season winds down. "[H] e's in the building working and doing his rehab, spending a lot of hours doing it," Reid said. "He's really attacked that and will continue to do that. He's around and sees the guys, but most of his time is being spent rehabbing."
| Footballguys view: Reid added that Mahomes is unlikely to make the trip to Las Vegas for the Chiefs' season finale. He was in attendance in a suite for the team's Christmas Day loss to the Broncos. But make no mistake, the initial reporting that Mahomes is working to be ready for the start of the 2026 season is accurate. Whether he achieves that goal or not remains to be seen. But his determination to achieve it is clear. Mahomes completed 62.7 percent of his passes this year for 3,587 yards with 22 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. |

Chiefs | Kansas City works out several players Mon Dec 29, 06:20 PM
Free-agent QB Austin Reed (Bears), RB ShunDerrick Powell (Eagles), WR Andrew Armstrong (Lions), Luke Grimm (Chargers), WR Kobe Hudson (Panthers) and TE Zack Kuntz (Jets) recently worked out for the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs also worked out undrafted free-agent QB Jordan McCloud (Texas State).

Chiefs | Andy Reid plans to continue as KC's head coach Mon Dec 29, 01:37 PM
Andy Reid isn't planning on riding off into the sunset after Week 18. Reid is wrapping up his 13th season as the head coach of the Chiefs, and he said on Monday that he's looking forward to No. 14. "I think I'm coming back, right?" Reid said, via Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com. "If they'll have me back, I'll come back. You never know in this business; that's a tough one. But I plan on it, yeah."
| Footballguys view: The Chiefs made the playoffs for 10 straight seasons before falling short of the postseason this year. That run included five trips to the Super Bowl in the last six years, so it's hard to imagine the Chiefs are going to be clamoring to push Reid out the door because of one unsuccessful season. As PFT's Josh Alper noted, the team may be saying farewell to tight end Travis Kelce and other players who had a hand in that long run of success. Still, the return of Reid to the sidelines and a return to health for quarterback Patrick Mahomes provide reason to think that the team can find its way back to the postseason. |

Chiefs | Rashee Rice placed on IR Wed Dec 24, 03:19 PM
Kansas City Chiefs WR Rashee Rice (concussion) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Wednesday, Dec. 24.
| Footballguys view: The Chiefs season is over, and they'll close things out without Rice on the field. He missed six games due to suspension, but when Rice was out there he did produce for the Chiefs' offense. In eight games, Rice finished with 53 catches for 571 yards and five touchdowns. With his skill set (and a healthy Patrick Mahomes), Rice should be considered a WR1 for Fantasy GMs in 2026. |

Chiefs | Shane Buechele officially signed Mon Dec 22, 03:40 PM
Updating a previous report, Buffalo Bills practice squad QB Shane Buechele was signed to the Kansas City Chiefs 53-man roster Monday, Dec. 22. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: With Gardner Minshew going on IR, Chris Oladokun is poised to start at quarterback against the Broncos this week on Christmas night, with the newly-signed Buechele likely to serve as his backup. |

Chiefs | Gardner Minshew placed on IR Mon Dec 22, 03:21 PM
Kansas City Chiefs QB Gardner Minshew (knee) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Monday, Dec. 27.
| Footballguys view: We learned earlier today that Minshew avoided a torn ACL, but his knee injury was significant enough to cost him the rest of the 2025 season. Minshew played 14 snaps before he had to exit Sunday's loss to the Titans. In four appearances with one start this season, Minshew completed 6-of-13 passes for 37 yards with an interception. As Profootballtalk.com pointed out, Minshew is set to be a free agent in 2026. With his experience, the veteran signal caller is likely to have a market for his services as a backup next year. |

Chiefs | Gardner Minshew avoids torn ACL; QB will still miss time Mon Dec 22, 02:17 PM
Kansas City Chiefs QB Gardner Minshew's (knee) MRI did not show a torn anterior cruciate ligament, but he is still expected to miss time because of the knee injury he suffered in Week 16, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: To that end, multiple reports note the Chiefs are signing quarterback Shane Buechele to the 53-man roster off the Bills' practice squad. Hosting the Broncos on Thursday night to cap the Christmas Day slate, the Chiefs are set to release their first injury report of the week later on Monday. Given Minshew's injury, Chris Oladokun is likely to start for Kansas City this week after playing the majority of Sunday's game. |

Kansas City Chiefs TE Travis Kelce ended up with a single 6-yard reception on four targets in Week 16 against the Tennessee Titans.
| Footballguys view: Kelce caught four passes on Gardner Minshew last gasp final drive of Week 15, but Minshew was ineffective early, and then left with a torn ACL. Even with #1 target Rashee Rice out, Kelce was a Week 16 dud. He won't be in any Week 17 lineups against the Broncos on Christmas. |

Chiefs | Isiah Pacheco totals 14 touches Sun Dec 21, 05:34 PM
Kansas City Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco ran eight times for 34 yards in Week 16 against the Tennessee Titans, while adding six receptions for 41 yards on seven targets.
| Footballguys view: Pacheco was basically the #1 receiver in an extremely limited Chiefs passing game against the Titans. He'll be a desperation play on Christmas against the Broncos as the Chiefs favored him over Kareem Hunt in Week 16. |
Chiefs | Chris Oladokun finishes up Week 16 Sun Dec 21, 05:23 PM
Kansas City Chiefs QB Chris Oladokun completed 11-of-16 passes for 111 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 16 against the Tennessee Titans, coming on for the injured QB Gardner Minshew II (knee).
| Footballguys view: Oladokun had never thrown a pass in a regular season game coming into Week 16, but now he will likely start on Christmas night against the Broncos as the Chiefs play out the string. Gardner Minshew went down with a torn ACL, so Oladokun will have a chance to audition to come back as Patrick Mahomes backup when Mahomes may not be ready for Week 1 after suffering a torn ACL in Week 15. |

Chiefs | Gardner Minshew likely suffers ACL Sun Dec 21, 03:52 PM
Kansas City Chiefs QB Gardner Minshew (knee) suffered what is likely a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in the Week 16 game against the Tennessee Titans, sources said Sunday, Dec. 21. He will have an MRI to confirm.
| Footballguys view: Sunday's game was Minshew's first start of the season. It came after Patrick Mahomes suffered a season-ending torn ACL in his left knee during last week's loss to the Chargers, which eliminated the Chiefs from playoff contention. Chris Oladokun, the Chiefs' third-string quarterback, will take over as the starter for Thursday night's Week 17 game against the Broncos. |
