KANSAS CITY, Mo. – With offseason workouts in full bloom, Chiefs quarterbacks Alex Smith, Aaron Murray, Tyler Bray and rookie Kevin Hogan have formed a tight bond. They train together, after all, and are rarely far from each other on the practice field. When not on the field, the quarterbacks spend time in the meeting room going over the playbook …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Rod Streater is one of two veteran wide receiver additions during the offseason to the Chiefs’ roster. Sixth-year pro Mike Williams, who signed a one-year deal in late April, missed organized team activities (OTAs) with a hamstring injury, putting him behind with on-field work. And it was reasonable to think Streater, who signed a one-year deal …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Chiefs on Friday put the finishing touches on 10 days of organized team activities (OTAs).

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – With sunny skies and temperatures in the low 90s Thursday, the Chiefs worked out under arguably the hottest day of organized team activities (OTAs).

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Wide receiver De’Anthony Thomas on Wednesday met with the Chiefs media for the first time since the latter stages of the 2015 season.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles, who continues to rehabilitate from an anterior cruciate ligament surgery to his right knee, has yet to hit the practice field during organized team activities (OTAs).

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Chiefs returned to the practice field Tuesday for Day Seven of organized team activities (OTAs) with a different No. 2 quarterback. Third-year quarterback Aaron Murray worked with the backups, replacing Tyler Bray, who started OTAs as the No. 2 signal caller. The shuffling, however, isn’t a surprise given the competition for the spot, which was …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – A familiar face was among the Chiefs’ latest round of transactions Tuesday.
