KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Chiefs don’t list running back Jamaal Charles among Monday night’s inactive players. Charles missed Week 3 with an ankle injury suffered in Week 2. With Charles back in the lineup, look for second-year pro Knile Davis to resume his role as Charles’ primary backup. Davis will also likely take over returner duties. The Chiefs, list …
The Chiefs (1-2) shook off a sluggish start to record seven plays of 10-plus yards in the first half en route to a 34-15 road win against the Miami Dolphins (1-2). Sunday produced the Chiefs’ first win of the season while the Dolphins have dropped two straight. “It was a good win,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid told reporters during his …
The Chiefs list running back Jamaal Charles (ankle) as inactive for Sunday’s game against the Miami Dolphins. Charles made a surprise return to practice on Thursday and Friday, albeit in a limited fashion. His presence on the practice field less than a week after suffering a high ankle sprain in Week 2 raised optimism he could be available Sunday. Second-year pro Knile Davis, …
The Chiefs dropped to 0-2 in regular-season play following Sunday’s 24-17 loss to the Denver Broncos. And the start of the 2014 campaign is a sharp contrast to last season’s 9-0 start. Still, there’s always something to take away – good and bad – from any action. Here are five highs and lows from Sunday’s game. HIGHS • The Chiefs …
The Chiefs’ string of bad luck with injuries endures another week. Two All-Pro selections, running back Jamaal Charles and strong safety Eric Berry, left Sunday’s 24-14 loss to the Denver Broncos with ankle sprains, severity unknown. “They’ll have X-rays tomorrow,” coach Andy Reid told reporters during his postgame media session. Compounding the current injuries is recent history. Berry missed the …
There were clear improvements Sunday from a dismal Week 1 showing. But the Chiefs are potentially at DEFCON 3 following a 24-17 loss to the Denver Broncos that dropped the Chiefs to 0-2 to start the 2014 season. Sure, the Chiefs gave the Broncos (2-0) all it could handle by outgaining Denver in total net yards 380-325, holding a 28-19 edge in …
The Chiefs game-day inactives don’t contain surprises. Rookie running back/wide receiver De’Anthony Thomas won’t play against the Denver Broncos as he nurses a hamstring injury. Thomas, who was declared as “out” on Friday’s injury report, has yet to play in a regular-season contest. Wide receiver Frankie Hammond Jr., who gained 47 yards on four punt returns in Week 1, will …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Titans running back and punt returner Dexter McCluster settled in at 15-yard line to field a punt from Chiefs punter Dustin Colquitt. The act wasn’t new to McCluster, as he has played at Arrowhead Stadium numerous times the previous four seasons. But the cascade of boos from the end zone immediately put the current Titan on …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Chiefs need a Plan B, and the team needs it fast to recover from the stunning loss of two defensive starters. “(Outside linebacker) Derrick Johnson and (defensive end) Mike DeVito ruptured their Achilles tendon,” coach Andy Reid announced after Sunday’s 26-10 loss to the Tennessee Titans. The injuries are potentially season ending. Johnson, a 10th-year …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – There’s no need to paint a pretty picture when it’s impossible to hide the obvious. The Chiefs (0-1) were outplayed in every facet of the game during the Tennessee Titans’ (1-0) one-sided 26-10 win at Arrowhead Stadium. First downs? Titans 24, Chiefs 15. Total net yards? Titans 405, Chiefs 245. Time of possession? Titans 37:44, Chiefs …
