Xavier Worthy Xavier Worthy More involved in OT win
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 5:34 PM
Worthy caught four of eight targets for 59 yards in Sunday's 23-20 overtime win over the Colts.
Analysis: The reception and yardage totals were his best showing since Week 8, while the target volume was Worthy's highest since Week 5. The second-year speedster has gone five straight games without getting into the end zone, managing just an 18-195-0 line on 31 targets over that span, but Worthy will get a chance to break out against a shaky secondary in Week 13 during a Thanksgiving tilt against the Cowboys. |

Travis Kelce Travis Kelce Four catches against Colts
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 5:29 PM
Kelce caught four of six targets for 43 yards in Sunday's 23-20 overtime win over Indianapolis.
Analysis: The yardage total was his lowest since Week 3, but Kelce did record at least four receptions for the fourth straight game, a stretch in which he's delivered a 23-299-2 line on 32 targets. The veteran tight end remains a key part of the Kansas City passing game at age 36, and Kelce could be busier in Week 13 during a Thanksgiving clash with the Cowboys. |

Rashee Rice Rashee Rice Busts out in OT win
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 5:24 PM
Rice caught eight of 12 targets for 141 yards in Sunday's 23-20 overtime win over the Colts. He added a two-point conversion on a pass from Patrick Mahomes.
Analysis: The dozen targets were a season high for Rice, who turned that elevated volume into the first 100-yard receiving game by a Kansas City wideout this season. Rice has put together a 34-394-3 line on 47 targets through five games since making his belated season debut, adding a fourth score on the ground, and he'll take plenty of momentum into a Thanksgiving clash with the Cowboys in Week 13. |

Kareem Hunt Kareem Hunt Tops century mark against Indy
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 5:21 PM
Hunt carried the ball 30 times for 104 yards and a touchdown and caught all three of his targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 23-20 overtime win over the Colts.
Analysis: The 30 totes were a career high for the veteran RB, as Kansas City committed to attacking Indianapolis' run defense with DeForest Buckner (neck) on IR. The strategy worked, as Hunt became the first KC player to reach 100 rushing yards this season, and he punctuated his big performance with a two-yard TD plunge in the fourth quarter that kicked off a comeback from a 20-9 deficit -- a score that extended his TD streak to four games. Isiah Pacheco (knee) could be ready to return in Week 13, but even if he does, Hunt figures to still have a significant role in the backfield in a Thanksgiving tilt against the Cowboys. |

Patrick Mahomes Patrick Mahomes Zero TDs in OT win
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 5:13 PM
Mahomes completed 29 of 46 passes for 352 yards and zero touchdowns with one interception in Sunday's 23-20 overtime win over the Colts. He added 30 rushing yards on four carries and threw a two-point conversion.
Analysis: The yardage total was a season high as Mahomes led a fourth-quarter comeback from a 20-9 deficit, but Kareem Hunt had Kansas City's only TD while Harrison Butker booted five field goals. Mahomes has a concerning 1:3 TD:INT over the last three games, but Sunday's win could be the spark the team needed to turn things around. He'll likely need to be more productive in Week 13 for a Thanksgiving tilt against the Cowboys. |

Noah Gray Noah Gray Possible concussion
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 3:09 PM
Gray is being evaluated for a possible concussion and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Colts.
Analysis: Gray was taken to the locker room late in the fourth quarter, and given the stage of the game, it is unlikely that he will return Sunday. Robert Tonyan will be the Chiefs' backup tight end behind Travis Kelce the rest of the way. |

Elijah Mitchell Elijah Mitchell Inactive Sunday
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 10:50 AM
Mitchell (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup with the Colts, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.
Analysis: The running back made his season debut last Sunday against the Broncos but only played on seven of 70 offensive snaps. Mitchell is a healthy scratch even with Isiah Pacheco still out due to a knee issue. Kareem Hunt and Brashard Smith got most of Kansas City's offensive snaps at the running back spot a week ago. |

Xavier Worthy Xavier Worthy Active versus Colts
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 10:40 AM
Worthy (ankle) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Colts, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.
Analysis: After not practicing Wednesday as he continues to manage an ankle issue, Worthy was limited Thursday and then worked fully Friday before heading into the weekend with a 'questionable' designation. With his Week 12 availability confirmed, Worthy should maintain his key role in a Kansas City pass-catching corps that also features fellow WRs Rashee Rice and Hollywood Brown, along with TE Travis Kelce. Worthy is coming off back-to-back games in which he recorded three catches for a combined total of 48 yards, and on Sunday he'll have his work cut out for him as he faces an Indianapolis secondary that welcomes Charvarius Ward back to a CB corps that now also includes high-profile trade deadline addition Sauce Gardner. |

Xavier Worthy Xavier Worthy Expected to suit up Sunday
Sat, Nov 22, 2025, 10:21 PM
Worthy, who is officially questionable for Sunday's Week 12 clash against the Colts due to an ankle injury, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Worthy first suffered an ankle injury in practice Nov. 13, and he tweaked the ankle a few days later in a loss to Denver. The second-year wideout logged a DNP/LP/FP practice progression this week and was given a designation of questionable on Friday's final injury report. It sounds like Worthy is going to be able to suit up in a big AFC battle against Indianapolis, and he should again work as Kansas City's No. 2 wideout alongside Rashee Rice. |

Clyde Edwards-Helaire Clyde Edwards-Helaire Elevated to active roster
Sat, Nov 22, 2025, 6:44 PM
The Chiefs elevated Edwards-Helaire from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Nick Jacobs reports.
Analysis: Edwards-Helaire will offer added depth to the running back position, as starter Isiah Pacheco (knee) is out for Week 12 against the Colts. The former first-round pick will likely be active behind Kareem Hunt, Elijah Mitchell and Brashard Smith. |

Kareem Hunt Kareem Hunt Remains team's RB1 for Week 12
Fri, Nov 21, 2025, 2:18 PM
Hunt is set to lead Kansas City's backfield Sunday against the Colts, as Isiah Pacheco (knee) has been ruled out.
Analysis: Pacheco will miss a third consecutive game Sunday. Hunt has turned 26 touches into 117 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns during the first two games of Pacheco's absence. Brashard Smith and Elijah Mitchell remain on hand in backup roles. Hunt has seven total touchdowns this season, including four in his last three games. |

Xavier Worthy Xavier Worthy Status in question for Week 12
Fri, Nov 21, 2025, 1:54 PM
Worthy (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Colts.
Analysis: Worthy tended to an ankle injury last week but still suited up this past Sunday at Denver, logging a 76 percent snap share and gathering in three of five targets for 25 yards. After coach Andy Reid told Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site on Wednesday that Worthy tweaked his ankle, the second-year wide receiver followed a DNP/LP/FP practice regimen this week. Worthy's status for Week 12 will be confirmed about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. |

Isiah Pacheco Isiah Pacheco Ruled out for Week 12
Fri, Nov 21, 2025, 1:12 PM
Coach Andy Reid ruled out Pacheco (knee) for Sunday's game against the Colts, Jesse Newell of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Pacheco has been sidelined since Week 8 due to a sprained MCL, but he was able to practice fully Wednesday and log a limited session Thursday, marking the first notable progress in his recovery. Reid also told Charles Goldman of AtoZSports.com that Pacheco didn't have a setback, and his return to practice this week was "literally to see where he's at." Pacheco thus will turn his focus to a Thanksgiving Day game at Dallas, while Kareem Hunt will continue to lead the Chiefs backfield this weekend. |

Isiah Pacheco Isiah Pacheco Limited practice Thursday
Thu, Nov 20, 2025, 3:10 PM
Pacheco (knee) was limited at practice Thursday.
Analysis: After being listed as a full participant Wednesday, Pacheco -- who is still sporting a bulky brace on his right knee -- per Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com, was deemed limited a day later. With that in mind, it's possible the running back's downgrade in participation level was indicative of load management rather than a setback, with Friday's final injury report slated to add further context with regard to Pacheco's chances of returning from a two-game absence Sunday against the Colts. |

Xavier Worthy Xavier Worthy Listed as limited Thursday
Thu, Nov 20, 2025, 3:05 PM
Worthy (ankle) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Worthy returned to the practice field after sitting out Wednesday, but he wasn't able to shed all limitations. Unless Worthy continues the positive trend and practices fully Friday, he will likely carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Colts. Worthy has dealt with ankle injuries throughout the season, but his only two absences came in Weeks 2 and 3 due to a dislocated shoulder. |

Xavier Worthy Xavier Worthy Will practice Thursday
Thu, Nov 20, 2025, 12:52 PM
Worthy (ankle) will practice in some capacity Thursday, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.
Analysis: Worthy missed Wednesday's practice entirely, so practicing in even a limited fashion Thursday would represent a tangible step in the right direction. The second-year pro is dealing with a tweaked ankle suffered during practice Week 11, and though he managed to suit up for Kansas City's loss to the Broncos, there are no guarantees he'll be able to play through his injury again during Sunday's matchup against the Colts. It will bode well if Worthy is able to log at least one full practice session Thursday and/or Friday. |

Xavier Worthy Xavier Worthy Misses practice Wednesday
Wed, Nov 19, 2025, 4:32 PM
Worthy (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Per Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site, coach Andy Reid noted earlier Wednesday that Worthy had tweaked his ankle, clouding the wideout's status for the team's ensuing practice session. Following the 'DNP,' Worthy has two more chances to work before the team's final injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Colts is posted. If he's limited or out this weekend, however, Hollywood Brown, JuJu Smith-Schuster and Tyquan Thornton would be candidates to log added WR snaps behind Rashee Rice. |

Isiah Pacheco Isiah Pacheco Full participant in practice
Wed, Nov 19, 2025, 4:08 PM
Pacheco (knee) was a full participant Wednesday in his return to practice.
Analysis: He thus appears ready to return for Sunday's matchup with Indianapolis after missing the past two games due to a knee sprain. Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports that Pacheco had a large brace over his right leg/knee during Wednesday's practice, but it apparently didn't stop the running back from being a full participant. Kareem Hunt and Brashard Smith still figure to have roles, with Pacheco typically limited to fewer than 15 touches even when he's starting and working as the lead runner. |

Xavier Worthy Xavier Worthy Dealing with ankle issue
Wed, Nov 19, 2025, 12:11 PM
Coach Andy Reid noted that Worthy tweaked his ankle, which leaves the wideout's status for Wednesday's practice uncertain, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.
Analysis: Worthy was on the team's Week 11 injury report after being limited by an ankle issue Thursday, but he practiced fully Friday and approached the team's loss to the Broncos on Sunday without an injury designation en route to recording a 76 percent snap share in the contest. Worthy has logged back-to-back three-catch efforts for a combined 48 yards over his last two outings. |

Isiah Pacheco Isiah Pacheco Returning to practice
Wed, Nov 19, 2025, 12:04 PM
Pacheco (knee) is slated to practice Wednesday, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.
Analysis: Pacheco last saw game action in Week 8, but the running back's looming return to practice has him trending in the right direction as Sunday's game against the Colts approaches. The Chiefs' upcoming practice report will clarify Pacheco's official participation level Wednesday after he missed six consecutive sessions dating back to Week 9. |
