The Kansas City Chiefs signed Juju Smith-Schuster on Monday, adding a veteran wide receiver familiar with the team one day before all NFL teams must reach the 53-player limit.

Bears cornerback Douglas Coleman III was immobilized on a stretcher and taken from Arrowhead Stadium on a cart Thursday night after making a tackle on the Chiefs’ Cornell Powell on the first play of the second half in the preseason game.

Even though the Super Bowl rematch between the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers will not occur until almost the midpoint of the season, NFL fans will be treated to a pair of playoff rematches on the opening weekend.

It has been three weeks since three Kansas City fans joined friends to watch the Chiefs play the Los Angeles Chargers in the final game of the regular season.

President Joe Biden says the Kansas City Chiefs are “building a dynasty” as he hosts the team at the White House to mark their Super Bowl victory in February.

The San Francisco 49ers added a league-high seven compensatory picks in next month’s NFL draft, giving them 11 total selections.

This is the first time they’ll play each other in a Super Bowl.

The non-profit, America’s Vet Dogs, has matched another deserving veteran with one of their service dogs, and it happened just before the second quarter of the Texans vs. Chiefs game on Sunday.

Chiefs fans celebrated their win in many ways, but one of those has massively benefited Buffalo’s Oishei Children’s Hospital.

Wait a minute — those are the plays Patrick Mahomes has been drawing up. For the second time this season, the Chiefs used a play dreamed up by their quarterback in Sunday's win over Tampa Bay. Kelce had Mahomes open, but had his wobbly pass batted into the turf. “It keeps the guys alive,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said this week. “We're trying to be creative, have fun out there, enjoy it day-in and day-out,” Mahomes said.

– The NFL postponed this week’s game between New England and the Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs after “positive COVID-19 tests on both teams.” Patriots starting quarterback Cam Newton and Chiefs practice squad quarterback Jordan Ta’amu were both added to the NFL’s COVID-19 reserve list released on Saturday afternoon. It is the second game this weekend that has been affected by COVID-19. After an outbreak on the Titans, the matchup between Pittsburgh and Tennessee was postponed — originally for a day or two, and then until Oct. 25 as the positive tests accumulated. But if a player tests positive and is asymptomatic, he can return 10 days after the initial positive test or just five days if he has two consecutive negative tests. I think we all knew at some point we might get some positive tests.

– Good morning, Texans nation. I’m on the plane ride home as I slowly work my phone keyboard after a couple of hours of sleep following the Texans' big loss to the Chiefs on Thursday night. The loss wasn’t pretty and painted a bleak picture about this offense and defense, but remember the Texans were seven-point underdogs and nobody gave them much of a chance to win. That said, here are a few of my takeaways from the 48 hours I spent in KC. It was a very good start for Johnson.

Here are the four biggest takeaways from the Texans' loss. If the Texans are going to have a strong offense, it’ll have to be built on downfield passing with three deep threat targets. The Texans got to Patrick Mahomes once, via Jacob Martin, but otherwise didn’t really pressure Mahomes much. Travis Kelce, who had three touchdowns in the playoff game against the Texans, again scored easily. THE OFFENSIVE LINE DIDN’T GIVE WATSON TIME TO THROWComing into 2019, the offensive line was the biggest weak spot for the Texans.
