KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Chiefs will soon add to the offensive line with the anticipated activation of right tackle Donald Stephenson from the reserve/suspension list.

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 …

Forget the final score from Thursday night’s preseason game because this was about evaluation. Was the 34-14 loss to the Green Bay Packers ugly?

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Don’t blink searching for first-team players when the Chiefs play the Green Bay Packers in the preseason finale Thursday night. “The ones,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid told reporters Tuesday, “my past history they haven’t played much.” Reid said backup quarterback Chase Daniel will start the first quarter, and second-year pro Tyler Bray and rookie Aaron Murray …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Chiefs enter the final preseason week with question marks on the offensive line.
