KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Chiefs wide receiver Jeremy Maclin (ankle) made an appearance on the practice field Thursday, but didn’t do much. “Maclin came out and did a little bit during the stretch period and that was about it,” coach Andy Reid said.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The NFL is forever about the next man up and arguably no team epitomizes that philosophy while winning like the Chiefs.
