Despite missing all of training camp, Kansas City Chiefs defensive lineman Chris Jones picked up right where he left off last year in his season debut against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo said that Jones’ return had an immediate impact.

Two of Kansas City’s second-year players are pleased with the early success of the team’s defense.

An NFL team possessing a quarterback like the Kansas City Chiefs’ reigning league MVP Patrick Mahomes will always tend to be regarded as one that features a high-octane offense.

But in the first two weeks of the regular season, it has been the Chiefs’ defense under coordinator Steve Spagnuolo that has stepped up the most — something in which...

Dave Toub names 4 Chiefs as options to replace Richie James at returner

Joe Camporeale-USA TODAY Sports

The special teams coordinator says the team has plenty of ways it could go for the all-important role.

Discussing the players on the Kansas City Chiefs’ lengthy injury list ahead of Chicago Bears’ week, head coach Andy Reid noted that wide receiver Richie James is the only one in danger of missing extended time. One of the major issues of James being sidelined with an MCL issue is that he serves the club as its kick and punt returners.

As in previous years, defenses are selling out to stop Kansas City’s deep passing attack.

Through two weeks of the young NFL season, the Kansas City Chiefs offense has not delivered to expectations. After years of one of the league’s most consistent — and prolific — scoring units, the Chiefs have struggled at every turn to move the ball, contributing to a slow, 1-1 start to the year.

Speaking before practice on Wednesday,...

Kansas City’s offense has struggled during the first two games — and the offensive line has played a part in that.

Whether or not it has been justifiable, the Kansas City Chiefs’ right tackle Jawaan Taylor has endured high scrutiny of his play during the season’s first two games.
