KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Chiefs starting inside linebacker Josh Mauga (groin, Achilles) missed a second straight day of practice Thursday. Mauga’s status for Sunday’s game against the Chicago Bears is very much in the air. Rookie Ramik Wilson would likely get the start if Mauga can’t play. The Chiefs list wide receiver Albert Wilson (shoulder) as a limited participant in …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Chiefs returned to practice Wednesday afternoon without a starter on defense. Inside linebacker Josh Mauga (groin, Achilles) did not work out on the field as the Chiefs began preparations for Sunday’s game against the Chicago Bears at Arrowhead Stadium.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Chiefs used two safeties at the nickel cornerback position in consecutive games to compensate the loss of cornerback Phillip Gaines, who suffered an ACL tear in Week 3.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Chiefs coach Andy Reid spent a few moments Monday during his weekly conference call detailing areas that went wrong during Sunday’s 36-21 loss against the Cincinnati Bengals.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Second-year offensive lineman Zach Fulton is back where he began with the Chiefs in 2014. The 6-5, 316-pound Fulton, who started all 16 games at right guard his rookie season, replaced second-year pro Laurent Duvernay-Tardif at the position Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. And Fulton apparently isn’t coming out of the lineup anytime soon. “I’ll probably …
The Kansas City Chiefs opened Sunday’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals with surprises on offense. And arguably the biggest one surrounded second-year offensive lineman Zach Fulton starting at right guard in place of Laurent Duvernay-Tardif. “Sometimes you can take a step back to take a step forward,” coach Andy Reid told reporters after the game of Duvernay-Tardif. “That’s one of the …
Kicker Cairo Santos was dialed in Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. And that proved a good thing since he was only player scoring points for the Chiefs at Paul Brown Stadium. Santos, a second-year pro, established a team-record seven field goals in a single game, including two from 51 yards. He also connected from 22, 40, 34, 40 and 29 …
Chiefs wide receiver Albert Wilson is inactive for Sunday’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals at Paul Brown Stadium. Wilson, who practiced in a limited fashion the past week, has been nursing a shoulder injury and the Chiefs designated him as questionable on the final injury report heading into the weekend. With Wilson not dressing for the game, wide receiver Frankie …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – From sustaining drives to protecting the quarterback, the Chiefs’ offense has struggled with consistency since the first half of the season opener against the Houston Texans. The Chiefs are 5 of 30 on third-down efficiency for a league-worst 16.7 percent conversion rate, a statistic that coincides with the team’s inability to keep quarterback Alex Smith upright …
Chiefs starting wide receiver Albert Wilson put in a limited practice Friday for a third straight day, leaving his status in the air for Sunday’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
