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 …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Chiefs on Friday signed cornerback Jamell Fleming from the Baltimore Ravens practice squad. 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.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – There was a lesson learned Wednesday in the Chiefs locker room when it comes to recently signed defensive tackle Kevin Vickerson. Ask about his health or the hip injury that landed him on injured reserve in November 2013, and the 6-5, 328-pound Vickerson’s emphatic response leaves no doubt. “I’m going to show the world that I’m …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Denver Broncos wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders slipped away from the Chiefs days after the start of 2014 free agency. The Chiefs hosted Sanders on March 15 in an attempt to bolster the wide receiving corps, and the 5-11, 180-pound Sanders would have addressed that need. But Sanders eventually signed with the Broncos, and he explained on …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Chiefs list 12 players on the initial injury report ahead of Sunday’s road contest in Denver against the Broncos.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Injuries to starters Derrick Johnson (Achilles) and Joe Mays (wrist) have the Chiefs sporting a new look at the inside linebacker positions just one game into the regular season.
