KANSAS CITY, Mo. – NFL quarterbacks setting up in the pocket have a big enough problem worrying about Chiefs outside linebackers Justin Houston and Tamba Hali rushing off the edge. Opposing signal callers could have another defensive player to account for at the line of scrimmage. “I tell you, Mike DeVito is probably the most improved pass rusher on the …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The annual national discussion rages entering the third week of preseason action with high-profile injuries taking its toll around the NFL. And the list of players grows.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Chiefs on Monday evening released the third depth chart of the preseason ahead of Friday night’s game against the Tennessee Titans. And this one came with a shake-up after the second chart basically mirrored the initial chart. Of course, the preseason depth chart remains fluid before the regular season. But the Chiefs appear to have …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Seattle Seahawks running back Robert Turbin never had a chance to score Friday night on third-and-goal at the Chiefs’ 2-yard line in the third quarter.

The NFL’s first female referee, Sarah Thomas, was a part of the officiating crew, while …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – A return to football begins Saturday night when the Chiefs travel to Glendale, Ariz., to take on the Cardinals in preseason action.

The preseason offers an evaluation period for the coaching staff, especially …
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. – Chiefs rookie defensive tackle Charles Tuaau is far from home, separated by more than 2,000 miles of the Pacific Ocean to the mainland. The hiatus is for good reason, however, as the native of Wahiawa, Hawaii, hopes to make an impact in training camp and ultimately stick with the Chiefs. “I haven’t been home for three …
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. – Let the public overreaction and analyzing begin. The Chiefs on Friday night released the initial depth of training camp ahead of the Aug. 15 preseason game against the Arizona Cardinals.
