Three Chiefs — defensive lineman Chris Jones, center Creed Humphrey and guard/tackle Joe Thuney — were selected to the Players All-Pro team this week. The NFL players themselves determine this annual all-star team via the NFL Players Association — players vote for others at their position as well as positions against which they line up.

Kansas City Chiefs defensive lineman Chris Jones is dealing with a calf injury he sustained in the defending Super Bowl champions' Week 17 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Despite his participation in the Christmas Day victory,

Jones has not yet been able to practice this week as he recovers from a calf injury. He is not expected to play in Week 18 but should be ready to return for the Chiefs’ eventual Divisional Round matchup in the playoffs.

With Thursday's practice in the books, the Chiefs are continuing to monitor injury situations with Jones, Pacheco, D.J. Humphries and others.

The Kansas City Chiefs defense has been the driving force behind this year's 15-1 start, which is no minor achievement considering the greatness of quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce on the other side of the football.

NFL Players Association All-Pro Team was announced today. Center Creed Humphrey, left guard Joe Thuney and defensive tackle Chris Jones were all selected to the team.

The Kansas City Chiefs are expected to rest their starters when they face the Denver Broncos in Week 18, but the status of the defending Super Bowl champions' biggest stars is a key storyline to watch as the team prepares for the postseason.

The Kansas City Chiefs' Week 18 injury report lists 10 starters as either out or doubtful for Sunday's game against the Broncos in Denver.

If the Dolphins beat the New York Jets, they’ll improve to 9-8. That’ll only be good enough for a wild card berth if the 9-7 Denver Broncos lose to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. What makes that two-result scenario so improbable is that neither Tua Tagovailoa nor Patrick Mahomes are expected to play in Week 18.

On Wednesday, the NFL Players Association announced that three of Kansas City’s biggest stars had earned NFLPA All-Pro honors, cementing their roles as some of the league’s most accomplished competitors.

Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said his team would be resting starters for this weekend’s matchup against the Broncos and his team’s injury report reflects that.

The Kansas City Chiefs are once again in a favorable position heading into this year’s playoffs. They had just two losses in the regular season, giving them the No. 1 seed in the AFC and a first-round bye.
