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 16, Kansas City is on the road to play the Tennessee Titans in Nashville, with kickoff at 12 p.m. Arrowhead Time on Sunday.

Here is the Chiefs’ final official injury report of the week, including game designations:

Some notes

• Nine Chiefs have been declared out for the game — but only seven were eligible to play this week.
• Five of them — wide receiver Rashee Rice (concussion), wide...

The Kansas City Chiefs (6-8) were officially eliminated from the AFC playoff race last Sunday with a 16-13 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. It was a brutal loss made worse by star quarterback Patrick Mahomes tearing his ACL. The injury leaves the Chiefs little to play for the rest of this season.

In Week 16, the team will take on the Tennessee Titans (2-12) at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee. Kickoff is scheduled for Sunday at noon Arrowhead time. This could be one of the most lackluster games of the NFL slate. The Titans are poised for a high...

On Sunday, the (6-8) Kansas City Chiefs are on the road to take on the (2-12) Tennessee Titans. Let’s see how the game plays out in Madden NFL 26.

First quarter

On the first play of the game, the Titans set the tone against the Chiefs, getting to quarterback Gardner Minshew as Darrell Baker Jr. brings him down for a seven-yard loss. The Chiefs go three-and-out on their opening possession.

The Titans pick up one first down on their ensuing drive before being forced to punt the ball back to Kansas City.

Minshew responds by hitting Travis Kelce for...

With the Kansas City Chiefs officially eliminated from playoff contention, attention has already begun to shift to what will happen in 2026. But inside the locker room, the focus remains on the final three games of the season — one that will end without a postseason berth for the first time in the Patrick Mahomes era.

While some fans may be comfortable with losing the final three games to improve the team’s draft position next April, that idea has found little traction at 1 Arrowhead Drive — as defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo explained to reporters on Thursday.

“Our guys aren’t...

On Thursday afternoon, 810 Sports’ Soren Petro reported that absent a “screw-up by someone at the top,” Monday could bring news that the Kansas City Chiefs will be building a new stadium on the Kansas side of the state line.

The report appeared to be referencing a meeting of the state’s Legislative Coordinating Council in Topeka, which is scheduled for 1 p.m. Monday. It could result in approval of proposed “STAR bonds,” which would cover up to 70% of a new stadium’s construction costs. These bonds would be paid off over the next 30 years through revenue from sports betting,...

Business of Football: End of Chiefs’ Run Is How the NFL Works | SI

And from a business point of view, the future does not look bright. Mahomes carries a $78.2 million cap charge for next year, one that will obviously be restructured to push a large chunk of those cap charges into the future. They have the second-worst cap table in the league next year, better than only the Cowboys, and Travis Kelce’s future is uncertain. This could be the end of an era.

Having been around the NFL for decades, I...

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 16, Kansas City is on the road to play the Tennessee Titans in Nashville, with kickoff at 12 p.m. Arrowhead Time on Sunday.

Here is the Chiefs’ second official injury report of the week:

Some notes

• One player was added to Thursday’s report: defensive tackle Derrick Nnadi, who has held out due to illness.
• Two defenders did not participate on Wednesday: linebacker Leo Chenal (shoulder) and cornerback Trent...

Now that the Kansas City Chiefs’ postseason chances are finished and quarterback Patrick Mahomes is out, the next three weeks are about identifying players who might help in the future. There is going to be plenty of roster turnover this offseason, so it’s important to get strong evaluations on anyone under contract into 2026.

With that in mind, here are three questions I have about some of the Chiefs’ young players over the next three weeks:

1. Can the Chiefs find a role for Brashard Smith?

All season, we’ve anticipated rookie running back Brashard Smith’s breakout, but it hasn’t...

The sporting world came to a halt late in the Kansas City Chiefs’ 16-13 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, when quarterback Patrick Mahomes tore the ACL and LCL in his left knee. He has already undergone surgery to repair the ligaments, but will miss the rest of the season.

Before Wednesday’s practice, defensive end George Karlaftis remembered watching it unfold while sitting with defensive tackle Chris Jones on the sideline. At first, they didn’t know who had been injured on the play.

“Chris and I were sitting next to each other,” he recalled. “You could hear a...

Jason Kelce advises brother Travis Kelce on retirement decision: ‘It’ll come to you with time’ | NFL.com

With the Kansas City Chiefs officially eliminated from playoff contention, the next piece of massive business in K.C. is determining Travis Kelce‘s future. Will he return for a 14th season for his age-37 campaign? Will he ride off into the sunset with three Super Bowl rings and await his gold jacket in five years?

It was natural for ESPN to broach the topic with Jason Kelce, now an analyst for the network, ahead of Monday night’s game...

Some notes

• For the Chiefs, quarterback Patrick Mahomes (torn ACL) was not listed on the injury report, because the team placed him on the Reserve/Injured list before practice. That officially ends Mahomes‘ season. At the...

The torn ACL and LCL suffered by the Kansas City Chiefs’ quarterback Patrick Mahomes on Sunday afternoon are not the first injuries he’s sustained during his career — but they are the most severe. For these injuries, the only path forward is surgery and rehabilitation. That’s unfamiliar territory for an organization (and fan base) that has grown accustomed to watching the team’s two-time MVP defy medical expectations after gut-wrenching scares.

So Mahomes wasted little time shifting his focus toward 2026 and beyond.

On Wednesday, Rick Burkholder — the team’s vice president of sports medicine and performance — explained how the...
