The Kansas City Chiefs add former Ravens legend Justin Tucker to their practice squad as a contingency for struggling starter Harrison Butker, who has missed 15 kicks since the 2025 season. Tucker, a seven‑time Pro Bowler, was released by Baltimore in May 2025 after a NFL personal‑conduct investigation into alleged sexual misconduct dating back to 2012‑2016 and served a 10‑week suspension. Having completed his suspension, he is eligible to play this Sunday if needed. The move raises questions about talent versus controversy for the AFC contender.
The Week 7 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday exposed several issues within the Kansas City Chiefs, as the team suffered its first loss of the 2026 season, falling 20-3. The struggles in the run game were evident, but it was the special teams that stood out for all the wrong reasons. Kansas City […]

The Kansas City Chiefs are hunting a new wide receiver before the November 10 trade deadline, and a Tyreek Hill reunion looks unlikely. On FOX Sports’ First Things First, former receiver Greg Jennings advocated targeting Houston Texans’ Nico Collins, arguing that the Texans’ recent trade for Marvin Harrison Jr. and a 2‑5 record could make Collins expendable. Collins, a healthy prime‑age X‑receiver, would instantly boost Patrick Mahomes’ arsenal, but acquiring him would cost a first‑round pick and drain Kansas City’s trade assets. With Hill still recovering from knee surgery, the Chiefs may shift focus to Collins despite significant hurdles for a Houston deal.
Amid the recent struggles of Harrison Butker, the Kansas City Chiefs signed Justin Tucker to their practice squad, and former Super Bowl champion offensive tackle Mitchell Schwartz can’t believe it. Schwartz reacted to the signing on X, formerly Twitter, writing, “GTFOH,” which likely stands for “get the f**k out of here,” and following it up […]

The Kansas City Chiefs sign former Ravens kicker Justin Tucker to their practice squad, giving him a chance to compete with struggling starter Harrison Butker. Tucker, the league’s second‑most accurate kicker, served a ten‑game suspension after 16 massage‑therapist sexual‑misconduct allegations and has not played since a sub‑par 2024 season (22‑of‑30, 73.3%). The article argues his return should mirror Deshaun Watson’s post‑suspension comeback, emphasizing consistency in NFL discipline. Tucker impressed in a 30‑for‑30 workout, but his future hinges on proving he can still perform at a championship level.
The Kansas City Chiefs fall 20-3 to the Seattle Seahawks, marking their worst offensive output of the Patrick Mahoney era. The Chiefs convert just 3 of 11 third‑down attempts, limiting them to a single field goal despite only eight drives each. Key moments include an illegal shift that wipes out a Travis Kelce catch, relentless pressure from Seahawks edge rusher Derick Hall, and a strip‑sack that forces Mahomes out of the pocket. Even their two successful fourth‑down conversions can’t salvage the night as Seattle’s zone defense and crafty pass rush shut down both short and long‑yardage looks. The loss underscores the Chiefs’ need to fix third‑down efficiency and protection.
Travis Kelce is frustrated with the effort a shorthanded Kansas City Chiefs offense put in against the Seattle Seahawks while conceding the team's first loss of the season last Sunday.
The Kansas City Chiefs, reeling from Harrison Butker's five missed field goals in 16 attempts—including two loss‑critical misses against Seattle—have added veteran kicker Justin Tucker to their practice squad as insurance. Tucker, 36, last played in 2025 after the Ravens released him amid multiple sexual‑misconduct allegations and a 10‑game NFL suspension. The move gives the Chiefs a high‑profile backup while highlighting Butker's on‑field struggles and off‑field controversies.
The Kansas City Chiefs received a massive beating from the Seattle Seahawks in Week 7. Arguably, it was the worst regular season showing they have had in the Pa
After a dominant win over the Kansas City Chiefs, Seattle’s Seahawks climb in the national power rankings. NFL.com lifts them to No. 4, CBS Sports to No. 6, and ESPN to No. 5, while Bleacher Report and Pro Football Talk sit at No. 7 despite the victory. Analysts praise a revived running game—highlighting Emanuel Wilson—and a stifling defense, but still flag offensive flaws and the upcoming challenge of facing Caleb Williams. The average rank jumps from 7.8 entering Week 7 to 5.8 entering Week 8, with the next test against the 5‑2 Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football.
The Kansas City Chiefs, sitting 5-1 in the AFC West, are exploring upgrades to their wide receiver group before the Nov. 10 trade deadline. ESPN insiders rank Jerry Jeudy (a third‑round pick or higher), former Jaguars Pro Bowler Brian Thomas Jr. (likely demanding more than a fourth‑round pick), and Colts veteran Josh Downs as top targets. With Rashee Rice injured and Tyquan Thornton on IR, the Chiefs see these receivers as potential boosts to their Super Bowl push, though Jeudy isn’t actively being shopped yet.
If you were wondering what happened to the decor used at Madison Square Garden for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding — which was estimated to cost $30 million — in July, you have an answer.

$6.4 million. That’s how much the Chiefs pay Harrison Butker each year to make his moments on the field count. And when you have the league’s fourth-highest-paid kicker on your roster, you’d expect him to make his kicks, right? But in the curious case of Harrison Butker, that has become a problem, one even Andy […]

The Arrowhead Pride staff rolls out a Halloween‑themed Week 8 NFL Power Rankings, noting the Minnesota Vikings stand alone at 6‑0 while the Los Angeles Chargers remain winless. The San Francisco 49ers claim the top spot despite a recent loss to Atlanta, and the Kansas City Chiefs sit second amid concerns over their wide‑receiver depth, pass rush and kicker Harrison Butker. Notable movers include the Tampa Bay Buccaneers jumping seven spots and the Baltimore Ravens dropping seven. Rankings highlight key issues—from James Cook’s four fumbles for Buffalo to Lamar Jackson’s health worries for Baltimore—offering a snapshot of each team’s strengths and threats for the rest of the season.
The Kansas City Chiefs add Hall‑of‑Famer kicker Justin Tucker to their practice squad, marking his first potential NFL return since his last game on Jan. 19, 2025, when he went 2‑for‑2 in the Ravens’ AFC Divisional win over Buffalo. Tucker’s elite 88.2% career accuracy and a 66‑yard record kick aim to shore up a Chiefs special‑teams unit plagued by Harrison Butker’s recent struggles – a 68.8% field‑goal rate (11‑of‑16) and just 46.2% success from 50+ yards in 2026. Coach Andy Reid hopes Tucker’s experience will pressure Butker and stabilize late‑game kicking decisions.
Harrison Butker's margin has run out in Kansas City.
The Kansas City Chiefs have added veteran kicker Justin Tucker to their practice squad amid a slump by Harrison Butker, who is just 11‑of‑16 on field goals through seven weeks of the 2026 season. Tucker, an eight‑time All‑Pro and former Baltimore Ravens star released in 2025 after a 10‑game suspension, could compete for the active roster as early as Sunday, potentially ending Butker’s tenure with the team.
The Kansas City Chiefs picked up their first loss of the season last week. Kansas City completely no-showed against Seattle, losing 20-3 against the defending Super Bowl champs. In response, the Chiefs just made a roster move to give themselves some depth at a key position on special teams. The Chiefs are signing seven-time Pro […]

Negotiations with free‑agent Tyreek Hill have stalled, prompting the Kansas City Chiefs to focus on a trade for Indianapolis Colts slot receiver Josh Downs. Downs, a healthy 25‑year‑old who logged 26 catches for 307 yards in the first seven weeks, offers immediate impact, elite route‑running and a low cap hit under $2 million. While the Colts list him for trade, the Chiefs face competition from the Raiders, Jaguars, Patriots, Rams and 49ers, but an undefeated 5‑0 Chiefs squad makes Kansas City the likely destination ahead of the Nov. 10 deadline. Hill’s knee rehab remains uncertain, shifting the Chiefs’ attention to Downs.
According to Sam McDowell, the Chiefs are signing K Justin Tucker to their practice squad.

The Arrowhead Pride Mailbag dissects the Chiefs' 20-3 loss to Seattle, highlighting the Seahawks' top‑two EPA rankings in both run and pass defense as a potential blueprint for future opponents. Readers question whether other teams, like Denver, can emulate Seattle’s scheme, while concerns rise over Kansas City’s offensive line injuries, depth at receiver, and broader roster gaps ahead of the trade deadline. The discussion also touches on possible fixes—adding a left tackle, elite receivers, a Kelce successor, and a pass‑rushing edge—though GM Brett Veach’s ability to deliver remains doubtful.
The Kansas City Chiefs suffered their first loss of the season in Seattle. It's how the team lost and what it says about the future that's worth a conversation.
