Each practice day of the season, the Kansas City Chiefs release an official injury report leading up to the next game. In the NFL’s Week 17, Kansas City will host the Denver Broncos on the Christmas evening edition of Amazon Prime’s “Thursday Night Football.” Kickoff is set for 7:15 p.m. Arrowhead Time.
Here is the Chiefs’ first official injury report of the week:

On Christmas evening, the Kansas City Chiefs will host the Denver Broncos in the second-to-last game of the 2025 season.
Here are three questions to consider during the contest:
Coming into the game against the Tennessee Titans, it felt safe to assume that if the Chiefs showed high levels of effort, victory would come against a hapless Titans team that has been one of the worst teams in the NFL all year, even without quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Instead, Kansas City got blown out by 17 points.

Week 17 of the 2025 NFL season will begin on Christmas Day — and the latest of Thursday’s three games will match up the (6-9) Kansas City Chiefs and the (12-3) Denver Broncos on GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. The last home game of the Chiefs’ season is scheduled to kick off at 7:15 p.m. Arrowhead Time on Amazon Prime Video.

A rough 2025 season only got worse for the Kansas City Chiefs in a 26-9 loss to the Tennessee Titans. Ahead of a Christmas Day game that will feature the team’s third starting quarterback this year, the collection of power rankings did not pull any punches.
Here’s this week’s sampling:

The Chiefs’ season was already slipping away before Patrick Mahomes’ torn ACL, but watching them struggle mightily against the Titans after Gardner Minshew suffered his own knee injury was quite revealing. There was a time when the mighty Chiefs could have absorbed losing...

In an edition of the Arrowhead Pride Premier newsletter from June of 2024 — when politicians on both sides of the state line were trying to convince the Kansas City Chiefs to accept each state’s vision for the team’s facilities — I wrote an explainer on the proposals being put forth by Jackson County, Missouri and Kansas. Now that the Chiefs have accepted the Kansas offer to build a new stadium in Wyandotte County — and a new team facility in Olathe — we thought it might be useful to revisit it.

The Kansas City Chiefs are limping to the finish line of the 2025 season. Week 15 — when quarterback Patrick Mahomes was injured and the postseason slipped away — felt like rock bottom. Sunday’s 26–9 loss to the Tennessee Titans somehow sank lower, and the Christmas Day matchup with the Denver Broncos threatens to set a new low.
Here are the winners and losers from a forgettable afternoon in Tennessee.

Chiefs loss shows how much Patrick Mahomes was carrying team
Overreaction vs. reality: Reality
The Kansas City Chiefs had another quarterback go down on Sunday, with Gardner Minshew leaving due to a knee injury, so the organization was truly playing with both arms tied behind its back offensively. That said, when watching them fall to the Tennessee Titans, it exposed how much Patrick Mahomes was propping this roster up. With the face of the franchise...

On Monday, the Kansas City Chiefs and Kansas governor Laura Kelly announced plans to build a new stadium for the team — along with a new headquarters and training facility — at two locations in Kansas.
The $3 billion stadium will be built in Wyandotte County — reportedly just west of Kansas Speedway — while the team’s headquarters will be located in Olathe. Both sites will be part of mixed-use developments that include entertainment, dining, shopping, office, hotel and residential components.

In Week 16, the Kansas City Chiefs lost to the Tennessee Titans by a score of 26-9. It was the ninth loss of the season in a game that had no consequences, as both teams were already eliminated from playoff contention.
Let’s look at how Kansas City used its players in the defeat:
Starters (offensive): WR JuJu Smith-Schuster, TE Travis Kelce, LT Esa Pole, LG Kingsley Suamataia, C Creed Humphrey, RG Trey Smith, RT Chukwuebuka Godrick, TE Noah Gray, WR Xavier Worthy, QB Gardner Minshew and RB Isiah Pacheco.

According to a report from the Kansas City Star’s Sam McDowell, the Kansas City Chiefs have “informed administrative officials” that on Monday afternoon, they will announce the construction of a new stadium in Kansas — pending the expected approval of the Kansas Legislative Coordinating Council (LCC).
Team chairman and CEO Clark Hunt and team president Mark Donovan are both participating in Monday’s LCC meeting. Reports indicate that Kansas governor Laura Kelly will announce the team’s move across the state line in a news conference getting underway at 3 p.m. Arrowhead Time.

According to a report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Kansas City Chiefs are poaching quarterback Shane Buechele from the Buffalo Bills’ practice squad.
Under NFL rules, any player signed from another team’s practice squad must spend at least three weeks on the new team’s active roster, so Buechele can be expected to be part of Kansas City’s roster for the rest of the season.
This signing comes in the wake of quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his backup Gardner Minshew sustaining serious knee injuries in successive weeks. Mahomes was placed on the team’s Reserve/Injured list last week. It’s a good bet...
