Following last season’s preseason finale, the Kansas City Chiefs re-signed veteran wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster. The former Pittsburgh Steelers wideout had been with the Chiefs in 2022 — helping to deliver a championship in Super Bowl LVII — before departing for the New England Patriots in free agency.

After foregoing 2025’s free-agency market to stay in Kansas City, Smith-Schuster sees the benefit of being back with the Chiefs for the full offseason program — and feels very good about the choice he made.

“Things happen for a reason,” he told reporters on Wednesday, “and I am happy to be back...

As preseason wraps up, the AFC’s divisional races are starting to take shape.

In the AFC East, despite offseason moves by the New York Jets, Miami Dolphins and New England Patriots, the Buffalo Bills (at -270, per FanDuel Sportsbook) remain the clear favorite. Josh Allen’s MVP‑level play should keep them atop the division.

On Wednesday evening, a story published by Sam McDowell in the Kansas City Star revealed that in the early morning hours of May 4, 2024, a bullet came through the window of the Kansas City Chiefs’ head coach Andy Reid’s office at the team facility on the grounds of the Truman Sports Complex, embedding itself into a wall about 15 feet from where the coach was working.

But the most prominent active head coach in the NFL now works protected by bulletproof glass, sources said, a safety measure installed soon after.

Several sources have confirmed the May...

2025 Best NFL Cornerbacks: Pat Surtain, Derek Stingley Jr. Lead Rankings | FOX Sports

4. Kansas City Chiefs, Trent McDuffie

Henry McKenna: He was once the league’s best slot cornerback before moving outside. And once there, he earned the title as one of the league’s best cornerbacks. Period. That doesn’t happen often. It’s a testament to McDuffie’s intelligence and athleticism. And let’s not forget how complicated Steve Spagnuolo can make his defense for the top players with unique disguises that require immense discipline. Yup, McDuffie is a special and unique talent.

On Wednesday evening, a source confirmed to Arrowhead Pride that the Kansas City Chiefs are trading wide receiver Skyy Moore to the San Francisco 49ers. Per NFL insider Jordan Schultz, the Chiefs will receive San Francisco’s 2027 sixth round selection in return for Moore and Kansas City’s 2027 seventh rounder.

Schultz added that San Francisco turned its attention to Moore after failing to land former Houston Texans wideout John Metchie III, who was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles earlier this week.

Moore never lived up to expectations in Kansas City after the Chiefs drafted him with the 54th overall selection...

The Kansas City Chiefs will face the Chicago Bears in their final 2025 preseason game Friday night at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.

On Wednesday, head coach Andy Reid ruled out seven players due to injury: tight end Jake Briningstool (hamstring), linebacker Jack Cochrane (knee), offensive tackle Ethan Driskell (appendix), safety Mike Edwards (hamstring), cornerback Nazeeh Johnson (shoulder), defensive tackle Omarr Norman-Lott (ankle) and wide receiver Jaylen Royals (knee).

Reid confirmed that after resting quarterback Patrick Mahomes, tight end Travis Kelce and defensive tackle Chris Jones — among other top players — last week in Seattle, he plans to play...

In recent days, there’s been a lot of speculation about how many games Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice might miss with the suspension the NFL is expected to hand down for a street racing crash in Dallas from March of 2024.

The last hard information was that the NFL was set to hold a hearing on September 30. More recently, however, there have been reports that the league and the NFL Players’ Association (NFLPA) are continuing to negotiate over the length of the suspension — and if an agreement is reached, no hearing would take place.

Kansas City Chiefs rookie defensive end Ashton Gillotte might still be a little bit of a work in progress on the defensive side of the ball, but one area where he has impressed this preseason is on special teams. Speaking to the media on Tuesday afternoon, special teams coordinator Dave Toub singled out Gillotte for his performance last Friday against the Seattle Seahawks.

“I thought Gillotte really played great on special teams,” said Toub, complimenting the rookie. “He had three tackles on special teams. He had a knockdown… I mean, he’s an animal out there.

“He’s so physical, he’s big...

When the Kansas City Chiefs finish the preseason on Friday by hosting the Chicago Bears at Arrowhead Stadium, eyes will be on the players fighting for the final few roster spots before teams must trim to 53 players next week.

For those contending to round out the wide receiver and running back rooms, decisions may come down to which potential backups offer the most value on special teams. Chiefs assistant head coach and offensive coordinator Dave Toub discussed several players competing for backup roles when he spoke before practice on Tuesday.

Toub’s tone implied he may not expect to have...

On Friday night, the Kansas City Chiefs will finish their preseason schedule with a matchup against the Chicago Bears on GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. When head coach Andy Reid spoke to reporters on Monday, he explained that going into this game, the team would simulate its normal routine during the regular season, in which Wednesday, Thursday and Friday practices lead into a Sunday matchup.

That’s fine by offensive coordinator Matt Nagy.

“I think what’s great about this is it really allows us, as coaches and players, to really focus and prepare,” he said on Tuesday, “[to] get back to...

Ranking Every NFL Offense for 2025 | The Ringer

8. Chiefs

I believe that we have seen the floor for a Patrick Mahomes–led offense. The Chiefs were tough to watch last year. (Yes, I know that they went 15-2 and made it to the Super Bowl.) It was clear that they had an offensive tackle problem and a wide receiver problem. As a result, Mahomes’s average pass went just 6.4 yards downfield—that ranked 34th out of 35 quarterbacks, ahead of only Gardner Minshew. The Chiefs produced an explosive play rate of just 8.9 percent, which...

Ahead of their practice at their home facility at the Truman Sports Complex on Tuesday, the Kansas City Chiefs listed six players who would not take the field due to injury or illness: linebacker Jack Cochrane (knee bruise), offensive lineman Ethan Driskell (appendectomy), safety Mike Edwards (hamstring), cornerback Nazeeh Johnson (shoulder), defensive tackle Omarr Norman-Lott (ankle) and wide receiver Jalen Royals (knee).

Late Monday afternoon, Kansas City placed defensive end Felix Anudike-Uzomah on the Reserve/Injured list. Even though he is practicing, cornerback Kristian Fulton has yet to play in a preseason game as he recovers from offseason knee surgery.

“Well,...
