Signs with KC
Mon, Aug 3, 2026, 6:48 PM
Weimer signed with the Chiefs on Monday, Jordan Foote of SI.com reports.
Analysis: The wide receiver joined the team after Xavier Worthy (shoulder) and Cyrus Allen (shin) suffered injuries during weekend practices, per Foote. Weimer caught 21 passes for 383 yards and two touchdowns for West Virginia last season. He likely faces an uphill battle to make the Chiefs, especially once Worthy and Allen return. |

Cyrus Allen Cyrus Allen Expected back this week
Mon, Aug 3, 2026, 11:24 AM
Coach Andy Reid noted Monday that he expects Allen (shin) to return to practice later this week, Nate Taylor of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The same applies to fellow WR Xavier Worthy, who is dealing with a sprained shoulder. Allen suffered a shin bruise on his left leg during Saturday's training camp practice, but based on Reid's comment Monday, it's not a serious issue for the 2026 fifth-rounder. Once Allen is able to work fully, he'll continue to compete with Tyquan Thornton and Jalen Royals for depth chart slotting behind Rashee Rice and Worthy. |

Xavier Worthy Xavier Worthy Dealing with sprained shoulder
Mon, Aug 3, 2026, 11:15 AM
Coach Andy Reid noted Monday that Worthy, who is dealing with a sprained shoulder, needs "a day or two" before returning to practice, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.
Analysis: Initial reports after Worthy left Saturday's training camp practice due to his shoulder injury were that the wideout had avoided a serious issue, and Reid's comment on the matter Monday supports that notion. For now, consider Worthy day-to-day as the Chiefs' Aug. 15 preseason opener approaches. |

Xavier Worthy Xavier Worthy Avoids serious injury
Sat, Aug 1, 2026, 3:25 PM
Worthy is believed to avoided a serious shoulder injury that he sustained during the final session of Saturday's training camp practice, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: It looks like Worthy's removal from Saturday's practice was precautionary, seeing as the third-year wideout underwent surgery in the offseason to repair a torn labrum that stemmed from a dislocated shoulder that he suffered during Week 1 of the 2025 season. Worthy will be closely monitored over the next several days but could be cleared to return to practice before the Chiefs' first preseason game against the Rams on Saturday, Aug. 15. Kansas City also got news regarding fifth-round rookie wideout Cyrus Allen, who is considered day-to-day due to a shin bruise that he suffered during a special-teams drill. |

Cyrus Allen Cyrus Allen Diagnosed with shin bruise
Sat, Aug 1, 2026, 2:25 PM
Allen was diagnosed with a shin bruise on his left leg that he suffered during Saturday's training camp practice, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: It's a best-case scenario for the rookie fifth-rounder, who had to be carted off the field after sustaining the injury on a special teams drill. Per Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star, the Chiefs consider Allen day-to-day, which puts the young wideout on track to be available for the team's preseason opener against the Rams on Saturday, Aug. 15. |

Xavier Worthy Xavier Worthy Exits practice with shoulder injury
Sat, Aug 1, 2026, 12:35 PM
Worthy left Saturday's training camp practice due to a shoulder injury, Jesse Newell of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: It's unclear whether Worthy's injury is to the same shoulder that he underwent offseason surgery for to repair a torn labrum. He'll continue to be evaluated by medical staff to determine the severity of the injury, but with both Worthy and Cyrus Allen (lower leg) leaving Saturday's practice early, there could be more offensive snaps on the table for the likes of Tyquan Thornton, Jalen Royals, Nikko Remigio and Jason Brownlee. |

Cyrus Allen Cyrus Allen Evaluated for lower-leg injury
Sat, Aug 1, 2026, 12:31 PM
Allen is being evaluated for a left lower-leg injury that he sustained during Saturday's training camp practice, Pete Sweeney of The Kansas City Star reports.
Analysis: Allen picked up the injury when he collided with Kaiir Elam during a special teams drill in Saturday's practice, and the injury was severe enough for the former to be carted off the field. Allen has been diagnosed with a lower-leg injury, but its severity is still being evaluated by Chiefs medical staff. The rookie fifth-rounder had been one of the standout players during the early portions of training camp, but an extended absence would mean that Tyquan Thornton, Jalen Royals, Nikko Remigio and Jason Brownlee will all have the chance to earn more snaps on offense behind Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy (shoulder). |

Cyrus Allen Cyrus Allen Carted off field with knee injury
Sat, Aug 1, 2026, 10:18 AM
Allen was carted off the field during Saturday's training camp practice due to an apparent left knee injury, Nate Taylor of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: It appeared as though Allen sustained the knee injury on a special teams punt rep, when he collided with corner Kaiir Elam. Allen initially limped off the field with the help of trainers before being carted to the medical tent, where he'll undergo further tests to evaluate the severity of the injury. Allen was a fifth-round pick of the 2026 NFL Draft and has demonstrated early rapport with quarterback Patrick Mahomes through the early stages of training camp. |

Participating in training camp
Fri, Jul 31, 2026, 8:38 PM
Smith (ankle) was spotted at Thursday's training camp practice.
Analysis: Smith dealt with back and ankle injuries in 2025, which limited him to 12 regular-season games, though he appears to be fully healthy for the start of training camp. The 2021 sixth-rounder enters camp as the favorite to secure a starting spot at right guard. |

Nursing strained hamstring
Fri, Jul 31, 2026, 8:26 PM
Gillotte suffered a strained hamstring during the Chiefs' training camp practice Friday, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.
Analysis: Whether the injury will impact Gillotte's availability for Week 1 of the regular season will depend on the severity of the strain. As long as he's sidelined, Felix Anudike-Uzomah and rookie second-rounder R Mason Thomas will be candidates to see an uptick in reps on the edge. |

Playing with first team at camp
Fri, Jul 31, 2026, 7:49 PM
Anudike-Uzomah is participating at the Chiefs' training camp, Charles Goldman of AtoZSports.com reports.
Analysis: Per Goldman, Anudike-Uzomah is standing out at camp so far and drawing praise from his head coach and defensive coordinator. He'll be competing with 2025 third-rounder Ashton Gillotte (hamstring) and rookie second-rounder R Mason Thomas for a starting role on the edge opposite George Karlaftis in 2026. |

Donning non-contact jersey
Fri, Jul 31, 2026, 7:18 PM
Delane (shoulder) is wearing a non-contact yellow jersey during training camp practices, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.
Analysis: Delane was forced to miss multiple minicamp practices while tending to a shoulder injury that has lingered into training camp and limited the rookie first-rounder to non-contact drills. It's unclear whether the LSU product will be available to play in the preseason, with the Chiefs' first exhibition game taking place Saturday, Aug. 15, against the Rams. Delane is projected to start opposite L'Jarius Sneed at outside corner, with Kristian Fulton, Kaiir Elam and Nohl Williams providing depth at the position. |

Rashee Rice Rashee Rice Easing back in
Fri, Jul 31, 2026, 12:59 PM
Rice (knee) is being eased back into the mix during training camp, Jesse Newell of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: As Rice works his way back from an offseason knee procedure with a ramp-up period, Pete Sweeney of the Kansas City Star relays that the wideout hasn't been logging reps in team drills. That context has enabled rookie fifth-rounder Cyrus Allen to open some eyes early on in training camp, but once Rice upgrades his practice participation level, he'll step back into a prominent role in a WR corps that also features fellow returnees Xavier Worthy and Tyquan Thornton. |

Justin Fields Justin Fields Looking good at camp
Thu, Jul 30, 2026, 4:17 PM
Fields had an impressive practice Thursday, making difficult throws into tight coverage, according to Matt McMullen of chiefs.com.
Analysis: The bigger story, of course, is that QB Patrick Mahomes (knee) is already participating in 11-on-11s. With Mahomes on track for the Week 1 start, Fields figures to spend most of his time with the second-string offense this summer. |

Jake Briningstool Jake Briningstool Involved at training camp
Thu, Jul 30, 2026, 3:27 PM
Briningstool (hamstring) is participating in training camp, Jared Sapp of ArrowheadPride.com reports.
Analysis: Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports that Briningstool caught a great ball from Garrett Nussmeier on Wednesday and appears to be back in playing shape. The tight end missed the 2025 season due to a persistent hamstring injury. |

Travis Kelce Travis Kelce Looks sharp to begin training camp
Thu, Jul 30, 2026, 12:56 PM
Kelce was one of Kansas City's standout performers on the first day of training camp, Jesse Newell of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: "He looked pretty good," head coach Andy Reid said of Kelce. "He stayed in shape." Kelce had an eventful offseason ahead of his 14th NFL seasons, as he married Taylor Swift on July 3. The 36-year-old tight end recorded at least 823 regular-season receiving yards in each of the previous 12 campaigns. |

Cyrus Allen Cyrus Allen Getting first-team snaps already
Wed, Jul 29, 2026, 1:19 PM
Allen took first-team reps Wednesday and was praised by coach Andy Reid after practice, Charles Goldman of A to Z Sports reports. "Yeah, so Cyrus (Allen) had a good day today," Reid said. "And I think Pat's (Mahomes) got some trust there."
Analysis: At the first practice of training camp, Allen took some snaps with the starting offense alongside Xavier Worthy, Tyquan Thornton and Jalen Royals. Top wideout Rashee Rice (knee) was on the field for the beginning of practice, but he left before 7-on-7s and 11-on-11s, freeing up more first-team work for Allen and Royals. It sounds like Allen made the most of his opportunity, while Royal reportedly struggled with drops. It's only one practice, but Allen, a rookie fifth-round pick, is at least putting himself in excellent position for a roster spot. He may also generate interest as a deep fantasy sleeper, given Kansas City's shaky WR room and excellent QB play. |

Patrick Mahomes Patrick Mahomes Taking part in 11-on-11s
Wed, Jul 29, 2026, 10:04 AM
Mahomes (knee) is participating in 11-on-11 team drills during Wednesday's training camp practice, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.
Analysis: Chiefs head coach Andy Reid shared that Mahomes had been "cleared to participate fully" to begin training camp, and seeing the 30-year-old signal-caller now taking part in team drills affirms his tremendous recovery progress. That said, it still remains to be seen whether Mahomes has been cleared for game action, be that in the preseason or Week 1 against the Broncos on Monday, Sept. 14. Mahomes has stated that his aim is to be ready for the start of the regular season. |

Xavier Worthy Xavier Worthy Cleared for contact
Wed, Jul 29, 2026, 9:45 AM
Worthy (shoulder) is attending Wednesday's training camp practice without the yellow non-contact jersey he sported during spring workouts, Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star reports.
Analysis: Worthy reportedly impressed during mandatory minicamp despite still being in the final stages of his recovery from January surgery undergone to address his labrum injury, which prevented him from taking contact. The 2024 first-round pick no longer appears to have any such restrictions, joining fellow top wideout Rashee Rice, who has also been cleared for the start of training camp. Worthy only produced a 42-532-1 line on 73 targets across 14 regular-season appearances in 2025, but his shoulder injury seemingly played a significant role in hampering his production. He'll work to rebound in 2026 alongside Rice and Tyquan Thornton, with Jalen Royals, Cyrus Allen and Nikko Remigio filling out the WR room. |

Lands on IR
Tue, Jul 28, 2026, 7:21 PM
The Chiefs placed (Downs) knee on injured reserve Tuesday, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.
Analysis: Downs' season is over after tearing his ACL during Tuesday's practice session. The 23-year-old will now shift his focus to getting healthy, and he will look to make his NFL debut during the 2027 campaign. |
