The Kansas City Chiefs might be without rookie defensive back Mansoor Delane during their Week 8 matchup against the Denver Broncos.
Delane — who joined Kansas City as the No. 6 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft — is said to be dealing with a shoulder injury and was a non-participant in the Chiefs' practice session on Thursday, October 29.
It is unclear if Delane will need to miss any time due to his condition, but fans in Kansas City should monitor the first-year standout's progress throughout the week to see if the Chiefs ****** ign him an official game status designation for the team's AFC West tilt with Denver.

A former LSU Tigers star, Delane has been among Kansas City's most impressive defenders this year and is expected to develop into a franchise player for the Chiefs as his NFL career progresses.

The Chargers returned from their Week 7 bye with offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel addressing the media Thursday, giving a look at the work to get the offense on track ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Rams.
McDaniel did extensive film work with quarterback Justin Herbert. He said they watched "probably 4 hours" of tape together and called it "a very healthy experience." He stressed their strong relationship and a constructive approach to the struggles.
"There's a healthy way to be accountable, so you're not misdirecting blame to yourself when things aren't working," McDaniel said.
The Chargers remain the NFL's only winless team at 0-6, with the offense ranking last in points per game (15.0) after a season-low six points in the Week 6 loss to the Chiefs. Harbaugh confirmed Wednesday that McDaniel would keep the call sheet, stating, "We're very confident in Mike and his talent, his work ethic and his ability. We continue to be."
Herbert also recently backed his coordinator. On Wednesday, he said the issues are "not his fault, it's our fault as an offense," adding that "the guys are open" and "plays are being made," while stressing the need for better execution.

Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes (knee) was a full participant in practice Thursday, Oct. 29.
SOURCE: Chiefs.com
Why it Matters: Mahomes has failed to throw a touchdown pass in each of his last two games, and with Travis Kelce (ankle) and Rashee Rice (hamstring, knee) both battling injuries, he could be without two of his main weapons. Mahomes is shaping up to be a QB2 in Week 8.

Kansas City Chiefs WR Rashee Rice (hamstring, knee) was a limited participant in practice Thursday, Oct. 29.

Why it Matters: With Rice remaining a limited participant, his status for the Week 8 game against the Denver Broncos is still unclear. If he does suit up, he should immediately resume his role as the No. 1 target in the passing game.

Kansas City Chiefs TE Travis Kelce (ankle) was a limited participant in practice Thursday, Oct. 29.

Why it Matters: Kelce was a full participant Wednesday, so it is a little concerning to see his status head in the wrong direction. He can be a low-end TE1 if he suits up, but Kelce's status for Friday's practice will be telling.

Bears' Kyle Monangai gets discouraging injury update ahead of Seahawks clash appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Chicago Bears have a challenging **** ignment in Week 8 when they travel to the Pacific Northwest to take on the Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks Monday night. The Seahawks are coming off an impressive 20-3 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs in which their defense shut down their previously unbeaten opponent.
The Bears would like all of their top weapons to be functioning at a high level in this game because the Seahawks are so strong defensively. They are the top-ranked team in the league in fewest yards allowed at 233.9 per game, and they are second to the Minnesota Vikings in points allowed at 17.9 per game.
As a result, the Bears would like running back Kyle Monangai back in the lineup. He has missed the last three games with a turf toe injury. Monangai did not practice in Thursday's session with both the turf toe injury and a thumb issue listed as the main problem areas.

But don't think for one second it can grant him redemption.

The fact is that the ***** ans have been as much of a handful as a 1-6 team can be. Four of their six losses were one-possession games (Eagles, Giants, Ravens, Browns) with an average margin of defeat in those contests of 4.5 points. Their lone win came against the 2-4 Indianapolis Colts.

It was a rough night for Kansas City Chiefs fans as they wrapped up a busy NFL Sunday by watching their team get stimied by the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks. The Chiefs offense was unable to get anything going and had its worst offensive performance under Patrick Mahomes since 2021.
Luckily for Taylor Swift, she didn't have to sit and watch the destruction at Lumen Field.
Throughout the night, Swifties and NFL fans were waiting to see when Swift would pop up on their screens, but like a touchdown from the Chiefs offense, that never came.
Now, some fans were wondering why she didn't pop up during the Sunday Night Football broadcast, but there is a really easy explanation.

Nick Wright claims the Kansas City Chiefs played in a way that should have led to them losing against the Los Angeles Chargers.
The Kansas City Chiefs are yet to lose a game still since Patrick Mahomes returned and the season began. On Sunday, they took on the NFL's worst team at the moment, the Los Angeles Chargers, and secured a commanding 22-6 victory to take their record to 5-0.
LA's offensive woes continued and somehow got even worse during this game. Justin Herbert was unable to get anything going, so the Chiefs' mistakes also went unpunished. Giving his two cents on the game in the aftermath, **** yst Nick Wright was quick to point that out.
Kansas City's record may be perfect, but the team itself was quite far away from that against LA. Mahomes threw an interception and Kansas City also missed an extra point, to give some examples. At the NFL level, mistakes like this are usually punished.
Wright gave a full account of everything the Chiefs got wrong before going on to then also diss the Chargers. Considering how poor they have been, it is hard to disagree with his take.

Patrick Mahomes has admitted he is still missing some of his explosiveness following his serious knee injury, despite helping the Kansas City Chiefs maintain their unbeaten start to the NFL season.
The Chiefs defeated the Los Angeles Chargers 22-6 to move to 5-0, with Mahomes throwing for 272 yards. The quarterback has looked impressive since returning from a torn ACL and LCL in his left knee, but he knows there is still work to do.
Mahomes suffered the injury in December and recovered in time to start the new season. However, his latest comments suggest he has not yet returned to full physical sharpness.
Speaking to reporters after the victory over the Chargers, Mahomes explained that his knee had been feeling better following the team's bye week, although he is still working to regain his previous level of explosiveness.
"After the bye week, I felt better physically… There's still some burst I don't have… But that's something we'll continue to work on," Mahomes said, via Charles Goldman.

The Los Angeles Rams are facing growing concerns over their special teams after an 18-16 defeat to the Arizona Cardinals left Sean McVay's side with a 2-4 record.
Los Angeles lost kicker Blake Grupe to a knee injury during the game, raising the possibility that the team could need another replacement after releasing Harrison Mevis following his missed kick against the Buffalo Bills.
The latest setback has added to the pressure on a Rams team that entered the season with Super Bowl ambitions but has struggled to find consistency.
According toThe Athletic's Nate Atkins, the Rams are becoming increasingly nervous about their special teams unit as the problems continue to mount.
"The problems are just so widespread that it can be hard to know where to start," Atkins wrote. "The kicking game is chief among them, because the Rams could need a third starting kicker if Grupe's knee injury is serious, after Grupe replaced the waived Harrison Mevis last week."

Calls for Mike McDaniels' job are only getting louder.
This time, though, Jim Harbaugh wasn't as strong in his defense of his offensive coordinator.
Harbaugh, after the Los Angeles Chargers fell 22-6 to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, said that they are going to "have to address everything, and especially offensively." The loss knocked them to 0-6 on the season, which marks their worst start since 2000. Coincidentally, Harbaugh was on that Chargers team as a player that finished 1-15 that season.
And when asked about McDaniel directly and if he was going to keep calling plays, Harbaugh said they were "going to look at everything."
"The job I'm doing, it starts with me. We'll watch this and get with our offensive coaches," Harbaugh said, via ESPN. "I see the effort, I see the work being put in in the meetings, on the practice field, and to get that to translate to the field is what's necessary. Feel bad for our players, our team, our coaches, our fans. And [offense] needs to be addressed."

Fans question NFL's roughing-the-passer rules after controversial calls against Packers, Chiefs originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Roughing-the-passer has always proved to be a sore subject for NFL fans. That fact resurfaced once more in Week 6.
Some might consider the penalty, ushered in to protect passers from sustaining major injuries, as a godsend. Others view it more negatively, believing it should be reformed to prevent honest defenders from coming under its wretched glare.
Regardless of where you stand on the debate, it's clear that many don't believe slight contact should come under its purview. Someone appeared to inform some of the NFL's referees, however.
Here's what you need to know.

Indiana Fever superstar Caitlin Clark was spotted sitting with pop icon Taylor Swift at the Kansas City Chiefs' game against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, and the WNBA's official X account made sure to shout it out.
The response from fans wasn't exactly warm, with many accusing the league of clout chasing after, in their view, barely acknowledging Clark during the season.
Clark watched the game at Arrowhead with Swift, who was there to cheer on her husband, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. Swift made it back to Kansas City after performing at the Academy Museum Gala in Los Angeles on Saturday night, and photos and videos of her and Clark (including a hug between the two) flooded social media.
Clark has an open calendar these days, as the Fever were eliminated from the WNBA playoffs by the Las Vegas Aces in the first round.
"Hey Caitlin," the league posted at 6:59 p.m. ET. That was all it took to fire up plenty of fans.

Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes reveals how Super Bowl trips changed his football outlook appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
After a challenging 6-11 season last year in which he suffered a season-ending knee injury, Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs are back to their dominant selves. They improved to 5-0 on the season with a 22-6 win over the winless Los Angeles Chargers in Week 6.
After the game, Mahomes shared some insight into how he thinks about football now after going from playing in so many Super Bowls to struggling and suffering a serious injury last season.
"Last year, to me, football in perspective. We played in so many Super Bowls, and especially those last few, it was like we, I don't want to say coasted, but we didn't play our best football in the regular season and we just turned it on in the playoffs. Even last year when stuff wasn't going right, I was like, 'We're going to figure it out. It's just gonna happen.'"

Chiefs Kingdom collectively held their breath after Kelce's early exit, including his wife, Taylor Swift, who made it to Arrowhead Stadium after her big performance at the Academy Museum Gala. However, Kelce was able to return and finish the game, catching 4-of-5 targets for 53 yards.

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce registered four receptions for 53 yards on five targets in Week 6 against the Los Angeles Chargers.
SOURCE: USA TODAY
Why it Matters: Kelce had a rather mediocre stat line, but his four receptions were the second-best mark on the team. It was a mostly run-heavy offensive attack, which doesn't bode well for the pass catchers, obviously. Still, Kelce remains a solid low-end TE1 in all fantasy leagues heading into Week 7.
