The New York Jets promote linebacker Troy Reeder and offensive tackle Brant Banks from the practice squad ahead of Sunday’s clash with the Kansas City Chiefs. Reeder, a 32‑year‑old former Rams and Lions player, has logged 87 special‑teams snaps and four tackles in five games for the Jets this season. Banks, a 26‑year‑old former Packers undrafted free agent, has yet to see a regular‑season snap in 2026 after two practice‑squad elevations. Both moves bolster depth as the Jets prepare for the Chiefs showdown on November 8, 2026.
Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice returns to the field with seven catches, 53 yards and a touchdown in a 28-24 loss to Denver, but off the gridiron he files Chapter 7 bankruptcy in Texas. Court records show $3.45 million in debts—including $2.1 million from lawsuits tied to a 2024 Dallas crash and nearly $1 million from a settlement—against $677,000 in assets and just $13,640 in cash. Rice listed his $160,000 Super Bowl ring as collateral. The filing follows a 30‑day jail stint for probation violation and a $6.5 million rookie contract in its final year.
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, coming off a 28-24 loss to Denver, stars in Tommy Hilfiger’s new “The Perfect Holiday” video. In the campaign, Kelce talks about celebrating his first Christmas as a married man with Taylor Swift, family traditions, and even jokes about a Tommy onesie. The ad also features their Samoyed, rumored to be named Wendy, alongside NBA star Josh Hart and Liverpool midfielder Florian Wirtz. Kelce, a global Tommy Hilfiger ambassador since March, will co‑design a collection debuting Spring 2027. On the field he’s logged 29 catches for 410 yards and two TDs as the Chiefs (5‑2) prepare to host the 2‑6 Jets at Arrowhead Sunday.
Ahead of their Week 9 clash in Kansas City, the Jets face a Chiefs team wrestling with a stalled pass rush. Arrowhead Pride’s Maurice Elston points to the Chiefs’ inability to pressure quarterback Patrick Mahomes—just nine sacks in seven games—and opponents’ aggressive fourth‑down play as key defensive woes. Offensively, the resurgence hinges on Kenneth Walker’s 770 yards, which revitalized the run game, play‑action passing, and a deeper vertical threat. The 2026 draft class adds standout cornerback Mansoor Delane and promising edge rusher R. Mason Thomas, though injuries and development remain concerns. Will Kansas City correct its pressure problem before the Jets arrive?
The Jets head to Arrowhead to face the Chiefs, entering as 9.5‑point underdogs in what is the week’s biggest spread. While Kansas City’s elite coaching, stout defense and Hall‑of‑Fame quarterback make an upset unlikely, New York’s backfield could be the X‑factor. Braelon Allen has surged in the past month, averaging over 100 rushing yards and scoring the game‑winner versus the Browns, while Breece Hall remains a polarizing figure. Blogger Matt argues both "Killer Bs" can thrive together if Frank Reich balances Allen’s volume with Hall’s versatility, aiming for 100+ yards from the lead back and 50+ from the second. The piece also warns that the Jets’ defense, still a concern, must step up against the Chiefs’ rejuvenated high‑powered offense.
The Kansas City Chiefs promote defensive tackle Marcus Harris from the practice squad for their Week 9 matchup with the New York Jets. Harris, a former Kansas Jayhawk who briefly made the opening roster before being cut, saw seven snaps in the first two games and now steps in as rookie Peter Woods sits out injured. This will be his third appearance of the 2026 season, but after the game he reverts to the practice squad, having used all three allowed elevations. Meanwhile, the team leaves a second elevation unused, likely keeping questionable punt returner Nikko Remigio active, with rookie Jacob De Jesus as insurance.
The New York Jets promote offensive tackle Brant Banks and linebacker Troy Reeder from the practice squad ahead of their Sunday showdown with the Kansas City Chiefs, hoping to snap a three‑game losing streak. Banks, a 6‑foot‑7 Rice alumnus, has bounced between the squad and active roster all season, while 32‑year‑old Reeder—who won a Super Bowl with the Rams in 2021 and recorded 91 tackles that year—has contributed four tackles in five games for New York. The Jets, now 2‑6, aim for their first win since Oct. 11 as they face a slipping Chiefs team at Arrowhead.
Former ESPN anchor Linda Cohn rebukes Brittany Mahomes and Kelly Stafford after they publicly criticized NFL decisions. Brittany slammed a controversial false‑start call that erased a late Chiefs‑Broncos TD in a 28–24 loss, while Kelly condemned the Rams’ tight 10‑day Thanksgiving‑Eve schedule. Cohn advises the quarterbacks’ wives to "know the room," stressing how their comments resonate beyond the league. The article notes Patrick Mahomes’ 5,097 yards and 50 TDs in 2018 and Matthew Stafford’s 4,707 yards and 46 TDs in 2025, framing the debate over player‑spouse commentary and NFL fairness.
Uwazurike was fined and landed on the injured-reserve list due to a shoulder injury sustained in the Broncos' win over the Chiefs.
Saturday’s NFL roster moves see the 49ers activate WR Demarcus Robinson and place Christian Kirk on IR, while the Broncos shuffle a handful of players, adding DB Sean Fresch and moving Taylor Rapp back to the practice squad. The Cowboys bring back LB Marist Liufau and promote WR Jordan Hudson, and the Rams activate Myles Garrett and Ronnie Rivers. Numerous teams, including the Bears, Chiefs, and Patriots, also elevate practice‑squad talent and adjust IR lists across positions.
Gracie Hunt, 27, the daughter of Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt, shares bikini snaps from her bachelorette getaway on Instagram, sparking a wave of compliments.

The post highlights her social‑media presence and personal milestones ahead of the nuptials.
The Philadelphia Eagles promote running back Elijah Mitchell and defensive back Cole Wisniewski from the practice squad for Week 9 against the New York Giants. Mitchell, a 2021 sixth‑round pick who bounced from the 49ers to the Chiefs, Patriots and now the Eagles, spent 2025 in a single Chiefs game before landing on the practice squad following an injury settlement. The moves give the Eagles depth at RB and DB for the upcoming matchup.
The Chiefs enter Week 9 against the New York Jets missing three defensive starters. Cornerback Mansoor Delane (shoulder), rookie DT Peter Woods (neck) and safety Omarr Norman‑Lott (knee) are out, while Nikko Remigio remains questionable. Delane, a 2026 first‑round pick, has logged 27 tackles and an interception in five starts; Woods contributed 13 tackles, a half‑sack and a pass breakup in seven games. Their absences force head coach Andy Reid to reshuffle the rotation, putting extra pressure on Chris Jones and Khyiris Tonga to preserve Kansas City’s league‑leading run defense after a 28‑24 loss to Denver.
Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahodes faces sharp criticism after teammate wideout Rashee Rice files for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Rice, the 2023 second‑round pick, listed $3.45 million in debts—including a $1 million settlement from a March 2024 Dallas car crash and a six‑game suspension after a 2025 guilty plea—against just $677,054 in assets. He sold his $160,000 Super Bowl LVIII ring to pay lawyer fees, and radio host Craig Carton says no Chiefs player offered financial help, questioning the locker‑room’s support. Despite the legal woes, Rice is healthy and slated to play Sunday against the New York Jets.
The New York Jets downgrade defensive end Joseph Ossai, cornerback Nahshon Wright and safety VJ Payne to out for their Week 9 road game against the Kansas City Chiefs. The three were previously listed as questionable, and their absences deepen New York’s depth concerns as they try to snap a three‑game losing streak (2‑6) against a 5‑2 Chiefs squad. The Jets, coming off a 38‑33 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, will need other players to step up when they face Kansas City Sunday at 1 p.m. ET on CBS.
The Kansas City Chiefs are weighing a late‑season trade for former Pro Bowl wideout Brandon Aiyuk as a possible alternative to re‑signing free‑agent Tyreek Hill. With the NFL trade deadline looming, Kansas City’s passing game has sputtered after a knee injury to Tyquan Thornton and defenses tightening on Kenneth Walker III’s ground attack. Aiyuk, who has been out for 25 months due to a serious knee injury, visited the 49ers’ facility and says he is fully recovered and ready to return. San Francisco is set to release him after terminating his contract and seeking to recoup $13 million in bonuses, opening a low‑cost option for the Chiefs to add a proven deep threat for Patrick Mahomes.
During a 28-24 loss to the Denver Broncos, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelke (87) delivers a heartfelt shout‑out to servicemen on Instagram ahead of the team’s Salute To Service Week match against the New York Jets. The 37‑year‑old, in his 14th season, posted the video after recording five catches for 87 yards while quarterback Patrick Mahomes threw for 321 yards and three touchdowns. Kansas City, coming off a 5‑0 start and missing the playoffs last year, hopes the military presence will spark a return to Super Bowl contention.
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice files for Chapter 7 bankruptcy on Nov. 4, 2026, listing $3.5 million in liabilities versus $677,000 in assets after a March 2024 car accident. Host Craig Carton criticizes the locker‑room “brotherhood,” questioning why veterans like Travis Kelce and Tyquan Thornton, who wore “Free 4” shirts during Rice’s six‑game suspension in Sep. 2025, haven’t offered more concrete help. Carton argues that public gestures fall short of true friendship, sparking a debate over athlete support amid personal financial crises.
After already ruling out Garrett Wilson (concussion), the New York Jets have officially ruled out three more players for their Week 9 trip to Arrowhead Stadium. Per the team, edge rusher Joseph Ossai (ankle), cornerback Nahshon Wright (back), and safety VJ Payne (knee) will miss New York’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs after being ...

Ahead of the Week 9 showdown between the Kansas City Chiefs and the New York Jets, Arrowhead Pride features a five‑question interview with Gang Green Nation’s MacGregor Wells. He highlights the Jets’ 2‑6 record and their recurring one‑score losses, blaming poor two‑minute coaching under Aaron Glenn despite the team’s newfound talent. Wells also explains Geno Smith’s 69% completion rate and modest stats as a product of better offensive pieces, not a sudden skill surge. With WR Garrett Wilson sidelined by concussion protocol, the focus shifts to RB Braelon Allen, who has thrived since Breece Hall’s injury, though Hall may return Sunday. The preview sets up a clash of a relentless Chiefs offense against a Jets squad battling coaching woes and key injuries.
Kelly Stafford, wife of Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, publicly criticised the NFL’s 2026 schedule after the Rams received a Week 11 bye that leaves only a 10‑day gap before a Thanksgiving‑Eve game against the Green Bay Packers. She questioned why the Rams lack a traditional Sunday‑to‑Sunday bye, noting the demanding stretch that also includes a Nov. 15 clash with the Arizona Cardinals and a Dec. 3 game versus the Kansas City Chiefs. The unusual calendar, highlighted by the league’s first Thanksgiving‑Eve matchup on Netflix, has sparked debate over player recovery and scheduling fairness.
The Kansas City Chiefs are assessing their options at wide receiver ahead of the NFL's trade deadline, according to The Athletic's Jonathan Jones.
The Kansas City Chiefs, fresh off a 5‑0 start but now mired in a two‑game skid, must execute three key tasks to beat the 2‑6 New York Jets in Week 9. Offensively, they need to revive their vertical passing game—stretching the field with targets like Xavier Worthy now that Tyquan Thornton is sidelined—to open up rushing lanes for Kenneth Walker III. Defensively, the pass rush must return, aiming for at least three sacks, with Chris Jones finally delivering on his "Sack Nation" label. Finally, the secondary must tighten coverage to limit Geno Smith, who threw for 290 yards and two TDs in his recent 33‑point win. Success on these fronts could keep the Chiefs in the AFC West race and preserve a shot at the top seed.
Kansas City, Pittsburgh and San Francisco are circling three wide receivers ahead of the Nov. 12 trade deadline, according to NFL insider Tom Pelissero. The Chiefs, looking to bolster Patrick Mahomes' arsenal after recent injuries, have shown interest in Jacksonville's breakout Brian Thomas Jr., while both the Chiefs and Steelers monitor Indianapolis slot‑receiver Josh Downs. Veteran Calvin Ridley also emerges as a possible target for any team needing immediate production. No concrete talks have been confirmed, and any move hinges on trade compensation and salary‑cap flexibility.
The Kansas City Chiefs’ pursuit of a wide‑receiver trade stalls as the deadline looms. Jacksonville balks at moving former first‑round pick Brian Thomas Jr. to an AFC rival, and Indianapolis demands at least a third‑round pick for Josh Downs, far above what Kansas City typically offers. With the Chiefs’ passing game exposed in recent losses to Seattle and Denver, attention shifts to a possible Dallas Cowboys deal for former Pro Bowler George Pickens. If the Cowboys’ season falters, Pickens—costing $13.65 million for the final weeks—could be a creative, Day‑2‑pick trade that restores a Tyreek Hill‑type threat for Kansas City after Week 9.
