A new challenge and proven culture --------------------------------------...

Kansas City’s veteran wide receiver addressed reporters after Tuesday’s mandatory minicamp practice.

After joining the team as an unrestricted free agent a year ago, wide receiver Hollywood Brown was expected to be a major contributor to the 2024 Kansas City Chiefs.

But unfortunately, Brown missed most of the campaign while recovering from a preseason shoulder injury. He returned in December, finishing with only nine catches for 91 scoreless yards — and adding five more grabs during the playoffs.

“I was coming back, really, just trying to help whichever way I could,” the wideout said of last season’s return, speaking after...

The Kansas City Chiefs’ superstar tight end Travis Kelce will turn 36 in October. He’s entering his 13th NFL season — the final year of his contract — and has settled into a long-term relationship with the world’s most popular singer.

For these (and other) reasons, it is widely believed that Kelce will retire after this season. But at the same time, Kelce has often said he’ll keep playing “until the wheels fall off” — and when he appeared for the team’s mandatory minicamp practice on Tuesday,...

4. Kansas City Chiefs

What’s working for them: History. The last time K.C. failed to win the AFC West was 2015 … when QB Patrick Mahomes was a sophomore at Texas Tech. The Chiefs haven’t missed the AFC championship game in seven years and have only fallen short of the Super Bowl once in the past half dozen. And the offense certainly has the potential to be more explosive with greased lightning WR...

Just one player was truly absent — and there were four newcomers.

And so was Travis Kelce.

Patrick Mahomes and his...

Jones was in good spirits as mandatory minicamp kicks off.

Defensive tackle Chris Jones and the rest of the defensive linemen were present at the Kansas City Chiefs’ mandatory minicamp, which kicked off this week. What’s different about this year — compared to some previous ones — is that Jones and other prominent veterans also attended voluntary OTAs earlier this month.

Speaking to the media, Jones was asked about his motivation for showing up to the voluntary camp, and he didn’t split hairs:

“We got a lot of new guys coming in, especially dealing with a loss in the [Super...

The rookie left tackle spoke to media members after Kansas City’s mandatory minicamp workout on Tuesday.

Following the first mandatory minicamp practice on Tuesday, Kansas City Chiefs rookie left tackle Josh Simmons stepped up to the podium to update media members on his recovery.

Recent notes about Simmons have been encouraging, with head coach Andy Reid explaining he has been pleasantly surprised with the first-rounder’s progress recovering from the torn patellar tendon he suffered in October.

Simmons, however, isn’t surprised at all.

“This is kind of what I anticipated,” he said. “It’s what I worked toward. I got my operation...
