KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Running back Joe McKnight’s short career with the Kansas City Chiefs included a memorable performance on the field, but it’s the off the field person Chiefs coaches and players remember the most following the 28-year-old’s tragic shooting death Thursday. Chiefs coach Andy Reid was among the those mourning the loss of McKnight. “What a great kid. We …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The weekend sets the stage for the NFL’s new calendar year. NFL teams starting Saturday are allowed to contact and enter negotiations with the certified agents of players scheduled to become unrestricted free agents when 2014 contracts expire at 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday, per NFL rules.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – It is far from a secret the Chiefs haven’t had a wide receiver touchdown through 12 regular-season games this year. Coach Andy Reid has stood firm publicly in recent weeks on not being too concerned over that statistic whenever it came up. Wednesday wasn’t different. “I don’t worry about who gets them,” Reid told reporters during …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Chiefs on Tuesday placed running Joe McKnight, who ruptured his Achilles last Thursday during practice, on injured reserve. McKnight, a fourth-year pro, finishes the season with 67 total yards (3 rushing) and two receiving touchdowns. He also contributed three kickoff returns for 65 yards.

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. The move to bring back Stephenson could occur as early as Tuesday. But the Chiefs want to evaluate Stephenson before deciding to insert him in the starting lineup. “We’ll see where he’s at physically,” …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Chiefs don’t list running back Jamaal Charles among Monday night’s inactive players. Charles missed Week 3 with an ankle injury suffered in Week 2.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Ruptured Achilles tendons have hammered the Chiefs since the start of the regular season. The Chiefs already placed inside linebacker Derrick Johnson and defensive end Mike DeVito on season-ending injured reserve when the pair suffered the injury in Week 1. And Kansas City will in all likelihood do the same with running back Joe McKnight, who …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Chiefs are without strong safety Eric Berry (ankle) for a second straight game. Berry and running back Joe McKnight, who ruptured an Achilles during Thursday’s practice, are out for Monday night’s game against the New England Patriots. Fourth-year pro Ron Parker will likely continue to start for Berry, who is dealing with a high ankle …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The big chunks of passing yards down the field haunting the Chiefs secondary during the second half of 2013 are for the most part absent through three games of the 2014 season. And it’s difficult to find a 35-plus yard gain outside of Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning’s 48-yard pass to wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders in Week 2 or Tennessee Titans …
