KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Chiefs’ early bad luck with injuries continued Friday, as another player suffered a season-ending injury. “Jeff Allen is having surgery today on his elbow,” coach Andy Reid announced after Friday’s practice, “his bicep tendon, so he’ll be most likely out for the season.” Less than two hours later, the Chiefs officially placed Allen on injured …

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Chiefs’ exciting preseason opening win against the Cincinnati Bengals was an anomaly despite the entertainment value.

A short week awaits the Chiefs after Sunday night before the …
The Chiefs on Saturday night released the initial depth ahead of the Aug. 7 preseason game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Because the first chart is often fluid, it’s best to remember there’s plenty of training camp left in addition to the four preseason games for numerous battles to settle.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. – The Chiefs on Monday wrapped up five straight days of practice, including the past three days in pads. “We had some good work today,” coach Andy Reid said, “got to work a little bit of two-minute (drills) today live, and the guys I thought did a nice job.” The Chiefs ran 9-on-9 and 11-on-11 drills featuring the …
