Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy returns after diagnosis change
Worthy's head hit the ground during training camp practice on Tuesday, and he was placed in concussion protocol the next day. Reid said the diagnosis changed after additional testing on Thursday.
His return was welcome news for the Chiefs with fellow wide receivers Hollywood Brown (ankle) and Skyy Moore (hamstring) still sidelined on Friday.
Worthy, 22, had 59 catches for 638 yards and six touchdowns and also rushed for three TDs in 17 games (13 starts) last season after being selected with the 28th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
The rookie added three touchdown receptions in the playoffs, including two in the second half of the Chiefs' 40-22 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX.
The Chiefs open the preseason at Arizona on Aug. 9 and kick off the regular season against the visiting Los Angeles Chargers on Sept. 5.

Jaguars depth chart: Travis Hunter 1st-team WR, backup CB
As Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter prepared for the NFL draft, he left no ambiguity about his ambitions. He did not want to play on only one side of the ball. He demanded to play defense and offense. As the Jacksonville Jaguars prepare for their preseason opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday, the team released its first unofficial depth chart that reflects Hunter's wishes. The No. 2 pick out of Colorado is listed as a starting wide receiver (alongside Brian Thomas Jr. and Dyami Brown) and as a backup outside cornerback (along with Jarrian Jones, behind Tyson Campbell). "It's weird, it's probably harder logistically for us as coaches to navigate it and making sure we're making use of all his time," Jaguars coach Liam Coen said at the start of training camp. "I think it doesn't bother him as much. He's pretty unfazed by some of this stuff." After putting up 96 catches, 1,258 receiving yards and 15 touchdowns to go along with 11 passes defended and four interceptions at Colorado last year, Hunter opened training camp with more offensive reps as he worked on developing chemistry with starting quarterback Trevor Lawrence. As camp went on, however, Hunter began seeing more action on the defensive side. What's more, he is putting on a juggling act as he bounces between meeting rooms and learns multiple playbooks. That mental side of the game, Hunter said, is the most challenging aspect. "You've got to do different terms each and every day," he said. --Field Level Media Field Level Media 2025 - All Rights Reserved

49ers receiver Jauan Jennings (calf) remains out of practice
Before training camp opened, reports emerged that 49ers receiver Jauan Jennings wanted a new contract or a trade. He didn't hold out. He could be holding in. Jennings suffered a calf injury during training camp on July 27. (It apparently was an aggravation of an offseason injury.) He has yet to practice since then. On Monday, 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan was asked about Jennings's ongoing absence. 'Same thing with his calf,' Shanahan said. Shanahan then was asked if it's 'definitely health-related, not business-related'? 'You can ask him that, but he tells me it's his calf and the calf shows,' Shanahan said. 'So, got to be delicate with those calves.' It could be a combination of health and business. If Jennings was happy with his contract, maybe he'd push through it. Because he isn't happy with his contract, he isn't. Jennings is in the second year of a two-year, $11.89 million contract. The contract was surprisingly light, given that he had a Super Bowl LVIII performance that had him on the short list of potential MVP candidates, before the 49ers lost to the Chiefs. Last year, Jennings had a career-high 77 catches for 975 yards and six touchdowns. With Deebo Samuel gone and Brandon Aiyuk still recovering from a torn ACL suffered during the 2024 season, Jennings seems to merit an increase. He may not be doing much until he gets one.

National Football League 2025 Kansas City Chiefs Preseason Schedule: Dates, Times, TV Channels Published Aug. 4, 2025 3:42 p.m. ET share facebook x reddit link The Kansas City Chiefs enter the 2025 NFL preseason looking to defend their 2024 campaign after finishing 15–2, winning the AFC West, and advancing to Super Bowl LIX before falling 40–22 to the Philadelphia Eagles. As Kansas City aims to return to the Super Bowl in 2025, here's a complete look at the Chiefs' 2025 preseason schedule, including dates, times and TV channels. Kansas City Chiefs 2025 Preseason Schedule Check out the team's preseason schedule below: Chris 'The Bear' Fallica shares his favorite NFL & CFB bets, including the over on Chiefs and Oregon win totals | FULL EPISODE | The Herd How will the Chiefs do this season? Carmen Vitali predicts that the Chiefs will finish the year at 13-4. Here's Vitali: "Well, the Chiefs went 15-2 last year despite question marks at offensive tackle and injured skill players. Sure, they lost the Super Bowl, but they got there didn't they? They also got the first-round bye in the AFC. So now that they've fortified their offensive line (even with losing Joe Thuney in a trade with Chicago), plus have a healthier receiver room, I'm supposed to think this season is going to go worse for them? The one thing that did have me dropping their win-loss record from last year is that they have to play not only their division, which should be better this year, but they also face a first-place schedule that includes the Detroit Lions, Baltimore Ravens, a Super Bowl rematch with the Philadelphia Eagles and, oh yeah, they have the Buffalo Bills thrown in there, too. The good news is they get all of those teams except the Bills at home. The bad news is, those teams all got better this offseason, too." share Get more from the National Football League Follow your favorites to get information about games, news and more
