3 Reasons Chiefs Shouldn\u2019t Worry About Losing OC Matt Nagy | Sports Illustrated<\/a><\/p>\n 2. Andy Reid is still here<\/p>\n Nagy isn\u2019t even the real offensive architect in Kansas City.\u00a0Andy Reid\u00a0calls the plays on that side of the ball, and he\u2019s heavily involved in constructing the scheme anyway. Getting some new blood in could actually breathe life back into an offense that\u2019s been on life support for years, despite employing the NFL\u2019s No. 1 quarterback and a host of viable weapons. If the Chiefs can find a younger, or at least more contemporary, offensive mind to replace Nagy, they would be better off.<\/p>\n NFL running back rankings, 1-64:\u00a0 How does every starting RB from the 2025 season stack up? | NFL.com<\/a><\/p>\n 33. Kareem Hunt \u2013 Kansas City Chiefs, Year 9 The Chiefs didn\u2019t have much of a run game in 2025 as the team shuffled through backs frequently. An injury to\u00a0Isiah Pacheco\u00a0led to Hunt gaining a bigger role, and he ended up leading the team in carries, rush yards and rush TDs. Hunt is a free agent and so is Pacheco. This backfield needs a reset.<\/p>\n 47. Isiah Pacheco \u2013 Kansas City Chiefs, Year 4 A knee injury sidelined Pacheco in late October and he never was able to really get going when he returned nearly a month later. It was a forgettable season for the fourth-year pro, who failed to rush for more than 60 yards in any game. The soon-to-be free agent could be headed elsewhere.<\/p>\n Ex-Chiefs WR Justyn Ross Now on Potential Path Back to NFL | KC Kingdom<\/a><\/p>\n Justyn Ross Drafted by Stallions 6 Months After Chiefs Release<\/p>\n Ross now has an opportunity not only to play meaningful snaps but to breathe life back into his NFL career. There are teams badly in need of receiver depth that will be willing to take a chance on Ross if he can put together a consistent resume in the UFL. He showed promise with 158 catches for 2,379 yards and 20 touchdowns in 39 collegiate games, and if he\u2019s still capable of being that player, maybe the Stallions can drag it out of him.<\/p>\n Another ex-Chief and Clemson product followed the same UFL path to give himself a second chance. After four years with Kansas City and another with the Seattle Seahawks, Cornell Powell spent parts of 2025 with the DC Defenders. The Houston Texans and Pittsburgh Steelers ended up bringing him in during August and November, respectively, and while those runs didn\u2019t last long, they may not have happened at all if it weren\u2019t for the UFL.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Around the NFL<\/p>\n John Harbaugh hired in a New York minute: Giants score an \u2018A\u2019 for moving fast in new head coach pursuit | CBS Sports<\/a><\/p>\n CBS Sports HQ NFL analyst Danny Kanell echoed many of those sentiments.<\/p>\n \u201cI will give it an \u2018A+\u2019,\u201d Kanell said. \u201cThis was the only coach that would come in and have us talking about this Giants organization as potentially a playoff team. And I don\u2019t think it\u2019ll only be me. With the young nucleus of talent that the Giants have on this roster, with the track record of success in building a winning culture, with the coordinator that he\u2019s most likely going to bring in with him, I think this is a home run hire for the Giants.\u201d<\/p>\n You\u2019re not going to find very many people out there who don\u2019t think this hiring is one of the better hirings of the cycle, no matter who lands the other available jobs. Harbaugh was sought after for a reason, and the Giants were able to land him before anyone else had a chance. Even if it doesn\u2019t work out, the process that led here was likely solid, even if it seemed somewhat predetermined that the Giants would zero in on Harbaugh if he ever became available.<\/p>\n Seahawks-49ers final injury report: Sam Darnold suddenly questionable to play | Field Gulls<\/a><\/p>\n Yes, out of nowhere there is some doubt that Darnold will be able to play this weekend. Darnold hurt his left oblique during practice, and now he\u2019s questionable. Don\u2019t totally fret, for Darnold believes that he\u2019s much more likely than not to be out there.<\/p>\n Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak confirmed that backup Drew Lock took some first-team reps with Darnold limited. Lock\u2019s first Seahawks start, coincidentally, came against the 49ers back in 2023. Any injury notes will be addressed by head coach Mike Macdonald on Friday.<\/p>\n Howie Roseman downplays A.J. Brown trade talk, says Eagles WR is \u2018great player\u2019 | ESPN<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cIt is hard to find great players in the NFL, and A.J. is a great player,\u201d Roseman said Thursday during his end-of-season news conference with coach Nick Sirianni.<\/p>\n \u201cI think from my perspective, that\u2019s what we\u2019re going out and looking for when we go out here in free agency, in the draft, just trying to find great players who love football, and he\u2019s that guy.\u201d<\/p>\n Brown finished with 78 catches for 1,003 yards and seven touchdowns in 2025 \u2014 the fourth time he has eclipsed 1,000 yards in as many seasons since coming to Philadelphia.<\/p>\n Brown also showed his frustration at various points over the last couple of seasons, however, including cryptic social media posts in the early part of this season. He declined to speak to the media in the latter stages of the year, coinciding with his on-field meeting with CEO Jeffrey Lurie in mid-November when he promised he would stop complaining publicly.<\/p>\n In case you missed it on Arrowhead Pride<\/p>\n The Chiefs\u2019 Patrick Mahomes is working to be ready for Week 1<\/a><\/p>\n The league\u2019s biggest star confirmed reports that his rehab is taking place exclusively in Kansas City with familiar team trainer Julie Frymyer. While he is not ready to definitively announce his return date, Mahomes is working to be ready to start the 2026 season.<\/p>\n He also hopes to participate in the spring\u2019s organized-team-activities (OTAs) in some fashion while taking on a bigger workload at training camp.<\/p>\n \u201cObviously,\u201d he said, \u201cI think [in] the long-term, I want to be ready for Week 1. The doctor said that I could be, but I can\u2019t predict what\u2019s going to happen throughout the process. But that\u2019s my goal, and so I\u2019ll try to prepare myself to be ready to play in that Week 1 and have no restrictions. You want to be out there healthy and giving us the best chance to win. So, obviously, I\u2019ll hopefully be able to do some stuff in OTAs and get to training camp and hopefully be able to do a lot there.\u201d<\/p>\n
