KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Week 2’s depth chart for Sunday’s game against the Denver Broncos has adjustments based on recent transactions. The Chiefs on Tuesday activated wide receiver Dwayne Bowe from the reserve/suspended list, and placed inside linebacker Derrick Johnson (Achilles) and defensive end Mike DeVito (Achilles) on injured reserve. Bowe resumes his spot atop the depth chart at the …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Chiefs coach Andy Reid spent time during his Monday media session pointing out areas gone wrong from Sunday’s ugly 26-10 loss to the Tennessee Titans. Of course, Reid found some good, such as the return this week of wide receiver Dwayne Bowe and Marcus Cooper. The Chiefs should activate Bowe from the suspension list and Cooper missed …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Chiefs on Monday afternoon confirmed the expected bad news. “Mike DeVito and D.J. (Derrick Johnson) both have Achilles ruptures and will be out for the season,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid announced during his weekly media session. “They’ll undergo surgery on those.” The Chiefs did not offer a timetable for the surgeries. Johnson, arguably the heart …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Chiefs are primed to unleash a critical part of coach Andy Reid’s version of the West Coast offense noticeably absent in 2013. And it shouldn’t surprise anyone familiar with what Reid has done with the tight end position dating back to his time as a position coach with the Green Bay Packers. “I think you …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Chiefs rookie guard Zach Fulton has an opportunity to accomplish something that hasn’t been done in quite some time.

The last Chiefs sixth-round …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The finality of an NFL playoff loss lingers like an unwanted companion unwilling to let failures be forgotten. There is little refuge from the mental barrage of what-ifs.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Chiefs roll out a new look on the offensive line when the 2014 regular season kicks off Sunday. Rookie Zach Fulton is set as the starting right guard, recently signed Mike McGlynn starts at left guard and Jeff Allen moves to right tackle. Allen, who started 27 games at left guard since the 2012 season, said …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The script shouldn’t have read this way. Linebacker Josh Mauga endured not one, but two straight season-ending injuries in 2013 (back) and 2012 (torn pectoral) with the New York Jets. He had to watch the game he loved from afar. And despite the promise he offered as an as undrafted free agent out of Nevada in …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – A big part of the Chiefs defense expects to be on the field Sunday against the Tennessee Titans. All-Pro strong safety Eric Berry, whose right heel injury kept him out of the preseason, practiced fully the past two days and is on track to return to the starting lineup. Another good sign Berry will play is …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Chiefs dealt with two injuries late in Wednesday’s practice, coach Andy Reid announced Thursday morning. And the players involved are counted on as main contributors. “(Running back) De’Anthony (Thomas) has a slight hamstring,” Reid said. “We really don’t know how bad it is or how long it will be. And then (cornerback Marcus) Coop(er) had …
