For the fourth consecutive day in St. Joe, Kansas City Chiefs players, coaches and fans were treated to a cool morning; this practice was breezy but sunny, and lasted roughly two hours.
The team is looking ahead to a rest day on Sunday before the pads come on Monday. Here's everything to know from Arrowhead Pride's in-person observations of Saturday's practice:
Jared Sapp has the details on rookie wide receiver Cyrus Allen's mid-practice injury that drew a loud gasp from the crowd watching. It happened during punt team.
With defensive end Ashton Gillotte unavailable due to a strained hamstring he suffered during Friday's practice, fourth-year player Felix Anudike-Uzomah stepped up to play more with the starting defense on Saturday.
As practice began, the first-team unit walked through different formations. Most notable was this year's first look at Dime personnel, the defensive formation with six defensive backs, one linebacker and four pass-rushing threats up front.

The NFL has typically rewarded Super Bowls to cities building new stadiums — even if it's a smaller, midwestern city like Minneapolis, which hosted the 2018 game at U.S. Bank Stadium.
But even though the Kansas City Chiefs will be playing in a glitzy, $3 billion dome in 2031, owner Clark Hunt acknowledged the difficulty in landing a Super Bowl because six other teams are also slated to have new stadiums by then.
Kansas City's hosting of the World Cup, though, bolstered the city's chances.
"Not only did we pull it off, we dominated," Chiefs president Mark Donovan said. "That puts us on a different level now."

DANVILLE — Shawn Rife was hooked on base ball when he saw his dad and uncle play when he was young.
As he grew up, Rife — who is known as Ripper for the Vermilion Voles base ball team — has seen it where his brother, Dylan — Known as Big Dog and daughter Scarlet — known as Arrowhead — is playing with him.
“My father (Keith Rife, known as Ice Wagon) joined the team two or three years in its existence,” Rife said. “Being the typical dad, he didn’t want me sitting on the weekends playing video games, so he drug me out to join.”
In the last 16 years, Ripper has been involved with the team and even when he had breaks away, he would come back.
“My father got my uncle to play and a couple of my other uncles did some one-off games and it was always nice to bring your family in and get involved,” Ripper said. “Our sister was named Half-pint because she was the shortest of the three of us. It was a family affair to come out and play baseball together.”

Argentina don’t do it the easy way but if their defence of their World Cup is increasingly unconvincing, it goes on and on. Kansas City ended up bouncing like Buenos Aires, part of the Midwest resembling an Argentina home game, but euphoric scenes and a glorious goal stood in stark contrast to an utterly uninspired display.
They may not care. Not when they have a grudge match against England to concentrate the minds and a spectacular strike from Julian Alvarez to savour, arrowed into the top corner at the Arrowhead Stadium. Just when it seemed Argentina were hopelessly over-reliant on Lionel Messi, someone else delivered a moment of extreme quality. Then another Argentina centre-forward, Lautaro Martinez, gave the scoreline a flattering sheen in the 121st minute.
And yet it was really a tale of two strikers, neither of them Martinez. Alvarez, with his belated first goal of the World Cup, sent Argentina into a second successive semi-final. Breel Embolo may have cost Switzerland a first in their history. They had levelled and were the better side when his red card, eventual and involving VAR, for diving forced them into a rearguard action. They looked likely to hold out for penalties, Argentina seeming to have precious few ideas how to break them down, until Alvarez’s explosive intervention.
So, once again, Argentina advance in a manner that showed their spirit but highlighted flaws. Theirs looked as simple a route as could be imagined through the knockout stages – Cape Verde, Egypt, Switzerland – but they turned it into an obstacle course. They have twice gone to extra time, conceded five goals and flirted with elimination at each stage. But they can win games of brinkmanship.
Lionel Scaloni could at least point to his input here. The third goal involved two replacements, Martinez following up to score after Thiago Almada’s shot was blocked. Almada was an impact substitute: he had already flicked the post with a 20-yard drive. Yet Argentina were short of creativity, lacking any threat on the flanks. When Messi had a are quiet game – which still produced an **** ist – they were underwhelming. The captain’s scoring run ended at nine consecutive World Cup matches, another of the statistics that may not be repeated. For too long, however, Argentina looked a one-man team when the one man was enduring a rare off-day. He stirred late on, failing to lob Gregor Kobel and then shooting just wide at the end of regulation time, letting fly a couple of times in extra time. But for much of the evening, he was strolling around Missouri as Argentina were drifting.

England and Argentina set up a blockbuster World Cup semi-final showdown on Saturday after battling past Norway and Switzerland to book their passage to the last four.
In Miami, two goals from Jude Bellingham gave England a nervy 2-1 extra-time victory over Norway to send the Three Lions into the semi-finals for only the fourth time in history.
Defending champions Argentina later sealed their place in the last four after a nail-biting 3-1 win over 10-man Switzerland at Kansas City's Arrowhead Stadium.
Julian Alvarez and Lautaro Martinez scored in extra time for Argentina, who had been on the ropes after a second-half equaliser from Switzerland's Dan Ndoye cancelled out Alexis Mac Allister's early opener for the holders.
The two results mean that England and Argentina will renew one of the World Cup's most iconic rivalries when they face each other in the semi-finals in Atlanta on Wednesday.

Lionel Messi and Argentina are alive in the 2026 World Cup.
The defending champions take on Switzerland in the quarterfinals on Saturday, July 11 at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri.
La Albiceleste got here by beating Egypt 3-2 in the round of 16. The comeback win was under criticism because officials disallowed an Egypt goal that would have put Egypt up 2-0.
Egypt coach Hossam Hassan did not mince words in criticizing the officiating of the match, saying The Pharaohs "suffered injustice." The critical moment came in the 58th minute, when Egypt's Mostafa Zico buried a shot in the net. The play went to video review and officials ruled Argentina's Lisandro Martínez was fouled by Marawan Attia, which led to the score.
For their part, Switzerland beat Colombia in penalty kicks 4-3 after neither team scored for all of regulation and extra time. Their leading scorer, Johan Manzambi, did not play in the match due to injury.

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are officially married. The couple tied the knot at Madison Square Garden on Friday, July 3, in a reserved ceremony to one of the most famous couples in the world. The star-studded event featured a number of celebrities, dubbed the wedding of the year.
The pair had been together since 2023. Kelce famously failed to meet her after Swift's concert at Arrowhead Stadium. However, a line of contact was established between them later, and months later, with the NFL season already underway, their relationship became public when Swift appeared at a game next to Kelce's mom, Donna.
One day after the wedding, Donna attended Macy's 50th Fireworks show and answered a couple of questions. Naturally, details about the wedding were asked, and while she refused to go deep into the celebration, she couldn't help but smile at the event:
"I really can't say a heck of a lot except it was magical, man. Magical."
Swift, one of the most well-known singers in the world and a pop superstar, has been in the imagination of NFL fans ever since. She has attended many Chiefs games, including their two most recent Super Bowl appearances. She was present when Kelce and the team won Super Bowl 58 against the San Francisco 49ers.

Wasteful Colombia saw off toothless Ghana 1-0 on Friday to become the final team to qualify for the World Cup last 16.
The South Americans dominated the game at Arrowhead Stadium but ended up with just Jhon Arias's early goal to show for their superiority as they now look forward to a meeting with Switzerland in Vancouver on Tuesday.
Ghana midfielder Thomas Partey fizzed a shot just wide in the opening minute but that proved a false dawn for the African nation.
Colombia were forced into an early change when Jhon Cordoba pulled up with an apparent groin injury and was replaced by Luis Suarez.
Minutes later Ghana were forced into a change of their own when Alidu Seidu came on for the stricken Marvin Senaya.
The South Americans dominated the game at Arrowhead Stadium but ended up with just Jhon Arias's early goal to show for their superiority as they now look forward to a meeting with Switzerland in Vancouver on Tuesday.
Ghana midfielder Thomas Partey fizzed a shot just wide in the opening minute but that proved a false dawn for the African nation.

A relationship that first came to the public light more than two years ago is finally making it official. In what many have described as the wedding of the year, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are tying the knot in a ceremony for the ages at the iconic Madison Square Garden.
An extremely private affair, fans haven't gotten a closer look at the proceedings inside. But details are slowly starting to emerge, as the entire picture gets pieced together. To that order, one key reveal came in the form of the wedding officiant who will oversee their union.
After an errant comment on the "New Heights" podcast that eventually blew up, Swift's mother, Andrea, actually set up the couple's first meeting. Soon, the love between them blossomed, and it didn't take long for the pop culture icon to become a common fixture at Arrowhead Stadium.
On the field during the Chiefs' victory in Super Bowl 58, and their heartbreak the following year, the couple went through their highs and lows together. Eventually, they announced their engagement in August 2025.
Now, as the wedding ceremony takes place at MSG, a number of close friends and families are attending the celebrations. However, fans aren't getting an inside look at the venue. Instead, they are joining the dots as details come along.

Sterling Mahomes is a regular at Arrowhead Stadium, where she sees her dad, quarterback Patrick Mahomes, work. She attends Chiefs home games, away games, Super Bowls, practices and parades. But on a sunny day in Kansas City recently, the 5-year-old got to see her mother, Brittany Mahomes, in her element.
Brittany, the New Fans Correspondent for Everything But the Score, Yahoo's World Cup project, was at CPKC Stadium, home of the women's professional team she co-owns, the Kansas City Current. She was there for a video shoot designed to introduce newcomers not just to the game of soccer, but also to the players, personalities and culture surrounding it.
For someone who has spent much of her life around the sport, it's a natural fit. She speaks about soccer with the ease of someone who has a deep love and knowledge of the game, following a successful career as a college and — yes — professional player.
While Brittany casually dropped soccer knowledge, Sterling pushed a doll named Rosie around in a toy stroller, chatted about life as a big sister to younger siblings Bronze and Golden and occasionally wandered over to see what her mom was working on. "She wanted to be a part of mommy's work and see what I do," Brittany tells me.
It's a small moment, but one that seems to capture where Brittany is in life right now: still chasing ambitious goals, but increasingly aware of who's watching from the sidelines.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's romance has become one of pop culture's biggest love stories, but new insider claims suggest it almost never reached that point.
Before they became one of entertainment's most talked-about couples, they were reportedly on very different pages.
While Swift was ready to see where things could go, Kelce was said to be approaching the relationship far more casually.
The now-famous romance first captured attention during the summer of 2023 after Travis Kelce publicly revealed on his "New Heights" podcast that he had hoped to meet Taylor Swift during her Eras Tour stop at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City.
The Kansas City Chiefs star planned to hand the singer a friendship bracelet featuring his phone number, but the opportunity never came because, as he explained, Swift "doesn't talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings."

Kansas City Current star Temwa Chawinga, who was the Coca-Cola World Cup Coin Toss ******* istant for the Group J match, had a front row seat. She got to meet Messi ahead of Argentina's 3-0 win against Algeria at Arrowhead Stadium on Tuesday, June 16.
