KANSAS CITY, Mo. – In the moments just after the Chiefs victory over the Broncos last Sunday, Andy Reid capsulized his team’s winning performance in three words. “Defense, defense, defense,” Reid said in explaining the Chiefs 29-13 victory. The defensive effort forced five interceptions, six quarterback sacks and did not allow a Denver point on the scoreboard in the first …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Running back Knile Davis possessed experience in the Chiefs’ offense entering the 2015 regular season as Jamaal Charles’ primary backup. Davis appeared in 32 games with two starts from 2013-14, so it made sense his playing time would increase when Charles went down with a season-ending ACL injury in Week 5. The opposite occurred, however, and …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Chiefs have gone 11 games over the last two seasons without a punt or kickoff return for touchdown, the longest drought since Andy Reid and his staff took over in 2013.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Outside linebacker Tamba Hali (knee) was back on the field for the Chiefs practice on Thursday.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – From finding a place to live to fitting in with teammates, going somewhere new often presents obstacles. But defensive lineman David King, whom the Chiefs claimed off waivers from the Seattle Seahawks on Tuesday, is ahead of the curve to make him feel at home. “I’m surrounded by Sooners,” said King, who played collegiately at Oklahoma. …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Any hope for Chiefs left guard Ben Grubbs returning to the lineup in Week 11 have already been dashed. The Chiefs on Wednesday ruled Grubbs (neck) as out for Sunday’s game against the San Diego Chargers, marking the third straight game the ninth-year pro will miss since sustaining the injury in Week 7. And given the …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Chiefs began preparations for Sunday’s game against the San Diego Chargers without four starters. Starting left guard Ben Grubbs (neck), defensive end Allen Bailey (calf), linebacker Tamba Hali (knee) and cornerback Sean Smith (knee) did not practice Wednesday. Grubbs, in particular, has already been ruled out for Week 11’s game. The Chiefs continue to take …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Chiefs on Tuesday made a series of moves on the 53-man roster and 10-man practice squad. The Chiefs placed rookie tight end James O’Shaughnessy on injured reserve with a broken foot, and were awarded defensive lineman David King off waivers from the Seattle Seahawks in a corresponding move O’Shaughnessy, a fifth-round selection out of Illinois …
Kansas City Chiefs safety Tyvon Branch, who suffered a foot injury against the Denver Broncos, underwent a computed tomography (CT) scan on his foot, coach Andy Reid told reporters Monday afternoon. “He had a broken foot at one time – it was repaired before he got here – and he had soreness in that foot,” Reid said. “So they were …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Are the Chiefs a dirty and reckless team, a new version of the nasty Raiders of yesteryear? Or, do players for the Denver Broncos like to whine when they lose a game, especially one to an AFC West rival? Denver’s seven-game winning streak over the Chiefs came to an end Sunday, when Kansas City dominated the …
