Top Chiefs stories
Here are the most important storylines from this past week:
- The Chiefs notched their first preseason win over the Commanders on Saturday by a 24-14 score. Kansas City’s starting offense appeared to be in midseason form despite missing receivers Mecole Hardman and JuJu Smith-Schuster. Patrick Mahomes seemed to have fun slinging it to guys like receiver Justin Watson and tight end Jody Fortson, with the latter earning two scores in the first half.
- The good news is that, despite not playing, Hardman was seen practicing before the game, which means he’ll probably be good to return to action soon. The bad news is that cornerback Rashad Fenton left the game with a groin injury.
- The Chiefs’ roster is currently at 85 players. By 3 p.m. CT on Tuesday, that’ll be cut down to 80 players, and then cut again to 53 by 3 p.m. CT on August 30.
- The Chiefs debuted their second episode of “The Franchise” for this season. The episode starts with a hilarious prank involving Chiefs players and a stuffed bobcat.
