NFL official issues clear verdict on Patrick Mahomes controversy after fan backlash over Chiefs conspiracy theory | talkSPORT

“We knew it was going to be us versus the refs going into this game,” Anderson said afterwards.

The comments fuelled already prominent conspiracy theories around the NFL’s latest dynasty, and led to commissioner Roger Goodell labeling the idea ‘ridiculous’ ahead of Super Bowl LIX.

The labor union that represents referees also basted the conspiracy theories at the time.

Kansas City has released its first unofficial depth chart of the preseason.

The Kansas City Chiefs will begin the preseason on Saturday, August 9, facing the Arizona Cardinals at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.

As part of its weekly release, the team published its first unofficial depth chart of the season. Remember: the depth chart is unofficial — and subject to change throughout the preseason.

Josh Simmons is the starting left tackle

This is not a surprise, but here’s what matters: At this time a year ago, one of the things we noticed was that Kingsley Suamataia was...

Former Chiefs, Vikings star Jared Allen inducted into Pro Football Hall of Fame: All-Pro was true sack artist | CBS Sports

A third-round draft pick of the Kansas City Chiefs in 2004, Allen wasted no time establishing himself as a Pro Bowl talent, logging nine and 11 sacks in his first two seasons, respectively. Then came the true breakout: He led the NFL with 15.5 quarterback takedowns in 2007, his fourth season, earning the first of four career All-Pro nods.

Kansas City’s rookie wide receiver is making big strides during the team’s training camp in St. Joseph.

Over the last two years, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has turned in less-than-spectacular passing numbers — even as he led his team to the Super Bowl in each of those seasons.

But general manager Brett Veach has continued to add wide receiver talent to the team. In 2023, SMU’s Rashee Rice fell just short of becoming the first Kansas City rookie to collect 1,000 receiving yards. Unfortunately, he was also the only wideout to total at least 500 on the season....

On Sunday, Kansas City’s right tackle explained the knee injury that limited him this offseason.

At the start of Kansas City Chiefs training camp at Missouri Western State University, tackle Jawaan Taylor was placed on the active/physically-unable-to-perform (PUP) due to a reported knee injury.

Although Taylor was activated less than a week into camp, he has reportedly rotated right tackle snaps with free agent signing Jaylon Moore. Taylor also missed practice altogether on Wednesday of last week.

Taylor was able to explain his situation to reporters after practice on Sunday.

“I had a knee scope back in March,” he revealed....

Everything that went down during Kansas City’s 11th training camp practice in St. Joseph.

On Sunday morning, the Kansas City Chiefs returned to the practice field at Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph for the 11th full practice of the team’s 2025 training camp.

This was one of 17 sessions scheduled for the team’s practice field next to MWSU’s Spratt Stadium. Five of the remaining practices will be open to the public — click here for details and a full schedule — while one more will be open only to the team’s Season Ticket Members.

After Kansas City’s 11th training camp practice, the head coach discussed the team’s red-zone work, the offensive line competition and hopefuls at wide receiver.

Under the current Collective Bargaining Agreement, NFL teams are capped at 16 padded practices during training camp and the preseason, with no more than three consecutive padded practices permitted. This forces head coaches like the Kansas City Chiefs’ Andy Reid to get creative with scheduling.

On Sunday, Reid ran his third extended practice in as many days — but the players dressed in shorts and shells, carefully staying within the assigned restrictions.

“We were non-pads, but...

For Kansas City’s Sunday session, one player got back on the field.

In the Kansas City Chiefs’ 11th training camp session at Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph on Sunday morning — a lighter full practice in shells — a total of six players were held out.

Cornerback Kristian Fulton (knee) — who remains on the team’s Active/PUP (physically-unable-to-perform) list — was among them. He has missed every training camp workout. Tight end Jake Briningstool missed his seventh straight day. Safety Deon Bush (hamstring) has now extended his string to five days. Wide receiver Hollywood Brown (ankle) missed out...

Kansas City’s rookie defensive end took questions after Saturday’s practice.

Halfway through the Kansas City Chiefs’ training camp at Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph, rookie defensive end Ashton Gillotte had a chance to assess his performance — and his first taste of NFL action.

But first, the Louisville product noted that St. Joseph had been hotter than even his high school days in Boca Raton, Florida had prepared him to endure.

“That’s just how it’s been,” he remarked after Saturday’s practice, which had been the second straight day with cooler temperatures. “It’s been hot — very hot.”

Still,...

Kansas City conducts its 11th full-team practice of the 2025 training camp.

Sunday’s Kansas City Chiefs training camp practice gets underway at 9:15 a.m. (Arrowhead Time) on the practice fields alongside Spratt Stadium at Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph.

This is expected to be a lighter 10-10-10 practice in front of a large weekend crowd. The team will be taking Monday off.

It’s another pleasant, cool day in St. Joseph. Skies are mostly sunny. During practice, temperatures will range from the mid-60s to low 70s. Winds are expected to be from the southeast at about 7 miles per...

Kansas City’s rookie left tackle faced a true test against one of the league’s best defensive linemen.

On Saturday morning, the Kansas City Chiefs conducted their tenth training camp practice in front of a packed house in St. Joseph, Missouri.

The day’s most intriguing matchup — perhaps the most intriguing through the entire camp — was between rookie left tackle Josh Simmons and Kansas City’s superstar defensive tackle Chris Jones.

Starting at left tackle in every camp practice so far, Simmons has looked the part against the Chiefs’ veteran-heavy defensive line, which includes George Karlaftis, Mike Danna and Charles Omenihu...

Players are being graded every day, but the coming preseason games will give the best information.

There’s just a week to go until we get the first real look at his special teams units. That will happen when the Kansas City Chiefs open their preseason against the Arizona Cardinals in State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona on Saturday night. Before then, special teams coordinator (and assistant head coach) Dave Toub still has a long checklist to get through.

“We want to make sure we cover every situation, because you never know what’s going to come up,” he told reporters after...
