ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that "there remains uncertainty over the extent" of Chiefs WR Rashee Rice's knee injury. Rice had additional testing on the knee on Monday and consulted with team doctors, but "more tests are required to determine the full extent of Rice’s injury and his recovery timeline," according to Schefter. "No answers are expected until next week."
Underdog Fantasy's James Palmer reports that the Chiefs fear WR Rashee Rice tore his right ACL in the Week 4 win over the Chargers. Rice is scheduled for an MRI on Monday, but doctors can often accurately diagnose a torn ACL without scans. If confirmed, Rice's 2024 season would be over.
Chiefs WR Rashee Rice (knee) was carted to the locker room in the first quarter of Week 4. He's officially questionable to return.
UPDATE: Rice has been ruled out for the game.
The Chiefs elevated RB Kareem Hunt from the practice squad to the active roster. RB Keaontay Ingram was released in a corresponding move
Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes completed 26 of 39 passes for 217 yards, two TDs and an INT. It was Mahomes best fantasy performance of the season since he did add 17 yards on the ground as well.
Another night of mediocre night for Chiefs TE Travis Kelce against the Atlanta Falcons. He only caught four of his five targets for 30 yards and did not find the end zone, something he hasn’t done yet this season.
Chiefs WR Rashee Rice caught 12 of his 14 targets for 110 yards and a TD against the Falcons. The gameplan for the Chiefs’ offense was clear: Get the ball in Rice’s hands.
Chiefs HC Andy Reid didn't give a firm timetable for RB Isiah Pacheco's return from his leg injury on Wednesday, but he said it could be "this season or next season," according to Arrowhead Pride's Pete Sweeney. That obviously suggests that Pacheco is not a lock to return this year. It's a bit surprising after Monday's report from ESPN's Jeremy Fowler that Pacheco was expected to miss 6-8 weeks.
NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports that the Chiefs are signing RB Kareem Hunt. He'll join the practice squad initially, but Pelissero adds that Hunt "should have a chance to play soon."
Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco is expected to miss 6-8 weeks with his fractured fibula, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. The Chiefs have a Week 6 bye, which will save Pacheco a game. But this timeline means he'll be out at least through Week 8 and potentially through Week 10.
Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco fractured his right fibula in Sunday's win over the Bengals, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports. It's not yet clear how long Pacheco is expected to miss. He's reportedly headed for further testing on Monday to determine whether there's any surrounding damage and his return timeline.
Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes underwhelmed in a Week 2 win over the Bengals. Mahomes mustered only 151 yards, 2 TDs and 2 INTs, marking his lowest yardage output since Week 7 of 2019.
Chiefs TE Travis Kelce managed only 1 catch for 5 yards in a Week 2 win over Cincinnati. This marked his first game with fewer than two catches since Week 1 of 2018.
Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco is scheduled for testing on an ankle injury suffered in Sunday's win over the Bengals, HC Andy Reid said afterward. ESPN's Jeff Darlington interviewed Pacheco after the game and "got zero sense he’s dealing with anything serious." We should get an update on Pacheco tomorrow. His absence would leave Kansas City's backfield to Carson Steele and Samaje Perine. RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire is out at least another two games.
Update: Pacheco left the stadium in a walking boot and on crutches, according to Darlington.
Chiefs WR Marquise Brown is expected to miss the entire regular season with his shoulder injury that requires surgery, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Sources tell Schefter that there's a chance Brown could return for the postseason, but mid-January is the earliest he could get back on the field. (Week 17 takes place the last week of December.)
Chiefs WR Marquise Brown will miss at least another four games because of his shoulder injury. NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports that Brown is scheduled to have surgery Monday on the dislocated SC joint that's been sidelining him. Brown reportedly felt better this week, but testing revealed that the injury wasn't healing correctly. Without surgery, Brown would risk further long-term damage.
Chiefs WR Marquise Brown (shoulder) remained sidelined for Wednesday's practice. HC Andy Reid said that Brown's shoulder still has healing to do before he'll be cleared to play.
Chiefs HC Andy Reid said Monday that WR Marquise Brown (shoulder) is "feeling better" and "getting close" to a return. Week 2 or 3 has looked like Brown's most likely return date since he suffered the shoulder injury. We're currently projecting him to miss this Sunday's game vs. the Bengals and return in Week 3, but we'll continue to keep a close eye on his status. Brown's absence would make WR Xavier Worthy easier to trust in Week 2 fantasy lineups. The rookie totaled 68 yards and two scores in the opener -- but saw only three targets and one carry.
Chiefs TE Travis Kelce caught just three passes for 34 scoreless yards in Thursday night's win over the Ravens. Three Chiefs -- including TE Noah Gray -- finished with more yards. Volume was not on Kelce's side in this one. Kansas City ran just 50 plays after averaging 64.5 per game last year. And QB Patrick Mahomes threw only 28 times after averaging 37.3 per game last year.
Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy scored on his very first NFL touch in Thursday night's opener vs. the Ravens. With a little less than six minutes left in the first quarter, Worthy took an end-around and used a cavalcade of blockers to zoom through the Baltimore defense for a 21-yard TD. His 4.2 speed was evident on the play. Then, early in the fourth quarter, Worthy was left wide open on a coverage bust for a 35-yard TD from QB Patrick Mahomes. The rookie's only other touch of the night was a 12-yard catch-and-run on a crossing pattern in the second quarter.
