The Chiefs sign former Illinois defensive end

Kansas City has picked up defensive end Owen Carney, who has spent time with Miami and Cincinnati.

According to Friday’s official NFL transaction report, the Kansas City Chiefs made a roster move on Friday. The team signed former Illinois defensive end Owen Carney, making room on the roster by waiving linebacker Luquay Washington.

Carney checks in at 6 foot 3 and 275 pounds. Now 25, he first joined the league as an undrafted free agent for the Miami Dolphins in 2022, but didn’t make the regular season’s initial roster. That November, the Cincinnati Bengals signed him to their practice squad...

Friday training camp notebook: Have the Chiefs finally replaced Tyreek Hill?

Friday training camp notebook: Have the Chiefs finally replaced Tyreek Hill?

In 2024, could Kansas City finally get past its association with the Miami wide receiver?

It’s been more than two years since the Kansas City Chiefs traded wide receiver Tyreek Hill to the Miami Dolphins. At the time, it almost seemed impossible to imagine that the team’s offense could continue to be successful without him.

But the following season, quarterback Patrick Mahomes won his second MVP award after leading the league with 5,250 yards, 41 passing touchdowns and a QBR of 79.0. The Kansas City offense led the league in both scoring and yards (which it had done only once...

Two Chiefs return to Friday’s training camp practice

Wide receiver Xavier Worthy and cornerback Nazeeh Johnson were both back at work on Friday.

On Friday, the Kansas City Chiefs conducted their fifth 2024 training camp practice at Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph — the first one in full pads.

After missing three days of practice with strep throat, first-round rookie wide receiver Xavier Worthy was back on the field. So was cornerback Nazeeh Johnson, who left practice on Wednesday after an injury to the same knee he hurt in 2023. Wideout Justin Watson left Wednesday’s practice with a foot injury. While he was present on Friday,...

Joshua Williams embracing competition at starting cornerback: ‘I want it’

Joshua Williams embracing competition at starting cornerback: ‘I want it’

Kansas City’s third-year corner is ready to fill the void in the team’s secondary.

In 2023, the Kansas City Chiefs boasted one of the NFL’s top-ranked defenses — largely due to the phenomenal play of their secondary.

But the trade of star cornerback L’Jarius Sneed to the Tennessee Titans left a significant void among the team’s defensive backs. While plenty of talented Kansas City players are focused on grabbing Sneed’s starting role, third-year corner Joshua Williams is embracing the competition — and is determined to win it.

“I’m approaching it like I want it,” Williams announced to reporters after Wednesday’s...

GM Brett Veach open to Chiefs appearing on “Hard Knocks” | Kansas City Star

HBO’s “Hard Knocks” show continues to be a fan favorite and the number of teams featured has expanded in recent years.

Where “Hard Knocks” once focused on just one team, this year fans saw the New York Giants’ offseason featured, and early next month the Chicago Bears will be shown at training camp. Once the season begins, the show will focus on all four AFC North teams.

The Chiefs haven’t been on...

Chiefs 53-man roster projection 1.0

Kansas City’s training camp is underway in St. Joseph. Right now, here’s how we see late August’s 53-man roster.

Kansas City Chiefs training camp is underway, with four full-team practices officially in the books. The Chiefs have their first off day on Thursday, which we thought to be the perfect time to unleash our initial 53-man roster projection.

As we say every year, while we always try to do our best in these projection exercises, there is little to no chance this will be the roster after the final cutdown on August 27 — and it is nearly impossible to...

Matt Nagy speaks on the Chiefs’ offensive position questions

On Wednesday, Kansas City’s offensive coordinator addressed what he is seeing from offensive roster hopefuls.

Following the team’s fourth training camp practice on Wednesday, the Kansas City Chiefs’ offensive coordinator Matt Nagy spoke to beat reporters at Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph. The longtime Andy Reid assistant — and former Chicago Bears head coach — touched on several of the biggest questions on his side of the ball.

The left tackle battle

The biggest of these continues to be who will protect quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ blind side. During training camp, second-year pro Wanya Morris and rookie Kingsley...

3 Chiefs who need to take step forward to make history

If Kansas City is going to pull off the three-peat, three young players will play better than they did in 2023.

The Kansas City Chiefs have returned to training camp focused and locked in as they attempt to make history by winning three straight Super Bowls. Winning one Super Bowl is difficult enough. Winning back-to-back titles is a rare feat in the NFL, and three in a row —well, there’s a reason it’s never happened.

In this salary cap era, retaining a roster full of stars is challenging, making it difficult to sustain success. General manager Brett Veach has done...
