KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Former President Harry Truman popularized the phrase, “The buck stops here.” A simple four words, but it carries deep meaning as a sign of leadership to accept responsibility – good and bad – for those under a charge. And Chiefs coach Andy Reid is known for doing just that during press conferences whenever the team lays …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Chiefs kicker Cairo Santos won’t ever be mistaken for having a lack of confidence. The 5-8, 160-pound rookie out of Tulane is known for having a big leg and established a career-high long 57-yard field goal in college. Now just two games into his professional career, Santos has a chance to test his leg when the …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Chiefs had an opportunity to launch their 2014 campaign with a victory over the visiting Tennessee Titans. Instead, they were defeated 26-10 while losing linebacker Derrick Johnson and defensive end Mike DeVito to season-ending Achilles tendon injuries. The Chiefs (0-1) now enter a four-game, pre-bye gauntlet featuring three battles beyond the cozy confines of Arrowhead …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Chiefs have a double dose of bad news on Friday’s injury report for Sunday’s game against the Denver Broncos. The Chiefs earlier placed guard/tackle Jeff Allen (elbow) on injured reserve after he underwent surgery Friday, and rookie running back/wide receiver De’Anthony Thomas (hamstring) will miss a second straight game. Allen’s surgery comes after he injured …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Chiefs’ early bad luck with injuries continued Friday, as another player suffered a season-ending injury. “Jeff Allen is having surgery today on his elbow,” coach Andy Reid announced after Friday’s practice, “his bicep tendon, so he’ll be most likely out for the season.” Less than two hours later, the Chiefs officially placed Allen on injured …

The 5-11, 206-pound Fleming originally entered the league in 2012 out of Oklahoma as a third-round pick of the Arizona Cardinals. He spent the 2013 season with the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Ravens signed Fleming to its practice squad on Sept. 3. Fleming, …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Chiefs defensive coordinator Bob Sutton has a simple message for his players as they prepare to face Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning. “Don’t be the ‘tell,’” Sutton said Thursday. “Don’t be the guy that’s telling him what the coverage is.” Solid advice, but easier said than done given what happened to the Chiefs pass defense against Manning …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Defensive lineman Jerel Worthy’s path to the Chiefs practice squad has been anything from normal when considering his origins. The 6-2, 308-pound Worthy entered the league out of Michigan State as a second-round pick (51st overall) of the Green Bay Packers in the 2012 NFL Draft. From an early Day Two selection of the draft to …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Chiefs maintained the status quo Thursday from Wednesday’s injury report. Guard/tackle Jeff Allen (elbow) and rookie running back/wide receiver De’Anthony Thomas missed a second straight day of practice.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Chiefs on Thursday brought back rookie strong safety Daniel Sorensen to the practice squad two days after waiving him from the 53-man roster.
