KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Chiefs appear set to welcome back wide receiver Donnie Avery to the lineup. Avery (groin) put in a full practice Friday and is officially listed as probable, which as defined by the NFL means a “virtual certainty will be available for normal duty.” Still, coach Andy Reid was coy on Avery’s role or if the seventh …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Chiefs wide receiver Junior Hemingway (concussion) missed a second day of practice Thursday ahead of Sunday night’s game against the Denver Broncos. Hemingway, who suffered the concussion in Week 12, is the only player to not practice. Chiefs tight end Anthony Fasano (knee) and defensive lineman Kevin Vickerson (calf), both of whom missed Wednesday’s workout, returned …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Chiefs have good news on the initial injury report ahead of Sunday’s game against the Denver Broncos. Wide receiver Donnie Avery (groin) put in a full practice for the first time since he returned to practice in Week 10 after undergoing a sports hernia procedure in early October. While Avery has participated in limited practices …
There should be no more looking behind at the Chiefs’ Week 12 loss because the focus shifts to a Week 13 showdown against the Denver Broncos at Arrowhead Stadium. The battle for AFC West supremacy between the Broncos (8-3) and Chiefs (7-4) headlines this edition of the mailbag. @HerbieTeope How confident are you for next Sunday? — Jacob Buhbuhbuh (@LouMcGopher) …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Chiefs cornerback Marcus Cooper has pulled a disappearing act. Cooper, who started the season at left cornerback, hasn’t logged a defensive snap in three straight games despite the absence of cornerback Jamell Fleming. “He’s practicing hard and we’ll just see how things work out,” coach Andy Reid said of Cooper during a Friday morning conference call …
Streaks eventually end and the Chiefs found out in a stunningly hard way in rainy conditions Thursday night against the Oakland Raiders. The Raiders (1-10) powered through the Chiefs with 179 yards rushing on 30 attempts en route to a 24-20 win to snap a 10-game losing streak to start the season. Oakland’s victory also snapped the Chiefs’ five-game winning …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Chiefs wide receiver A.J. Jenkins (shoulder) and tight end Anthony Fasano did not practice Thursday, while wide receiver Donnie Avery (groin) continues to be limited. Receiving options could prove an issue heading into Sunday’s game against the Seattle Seahawks. “I might have to suit up,” offensive coordinator Doug Pederson said Thursday. Pederson was kidding, of course. …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Chiefs’ signing of cornerback Jamell Fleming from the Baltimore Ravens practice squad on Sept. 12 placed him in new surroundings for the third time since 2012. But the third-year pro shared a lot in common with a current Chiefs player, and that helped ease the transition. Fleming and right tackle Donald Stephenson were college teammates …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Chiefs right tackle Donald Stephenson returned from a four-game suspension in time for Week 5’s game against the San Francisco 49ers, but saw just three snaps on special teams. While the limited action makes sense given Stephenson’s time away, it doesn’t appear the Chiefs are in a rush to hand the starting job back to the …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – All eyes will be on Chiefs (2-2) quarterback Alex Smith this Sunday, who faces his former team for the first time since being traded to Kansas City in 2013. Smith, the first overall pick in the 2005 draft by the 49ers (2-2), led the team to the NFC Championship game in 2011, but was benched the …
