All Joe Burrow could do was laugh as Chiefs rested starters vs Broncos in Week 18
"Quarterback," the Netflix documentary with a new season featuring Joe Burrow, showed the Bengals' quarterback watching hopelessly as the Chiefs rested many of their starters against Denver. The Broncos went on to win 38-0, eliminating Cincinnati from playoff contention.
"Anything can happen any given day," Burrow says in the seventh episode, while watching the Chiefs and Broncos from his couch. "It's obviously frustrating, but we put ourselves in this position."
"It's tough to win a game without playing any of your starters," Burrow says as he watches Denver take an early lead with a touchdown.
Burrow laughs as the Broncos go ahead by two touchdowns.
"I mean, not great," Burrow says as he eats a sandwich. "But there's nothing I can do about it. All I can do is sit here and watch."
"It's offseason pretty much," Burrow adds as the Broncos win and advance to the playoffs. "Which in ways is a relief, and also frustrating and annoying, and a lot of different things. You didn't ultimately do what you wanted to do, and that was - it's not great. But when you get to an offseason healthy, that's a weight off your shoulders, I'd say. I've had a lot of not healthy offseasons."

Kansas City Chiefs underdog who only began playing football three years ago may finally be ready to contribute in 2025
Kansas City Chiefs underdog who only began playing football three years ago may finally be ready to contribute in 2025 originally appeared on A to Z Sports. The Kansas City Chiefs' 90-man offseason roster is actually a 91-man offseason roster, and that 91st player could finally be in line to make an impact on the field in 2025. The Chiefs have 91 players on the roster because of Chukwuebuka 'Chu' Godrick, who also goes by Jason. He joined the team through the NFL's international player pathway program. He has received an offseason roster exemption for the past two years in Kansas City, three if you include this latest exemption in 2025. Most of Godrick's experience to this point has been playing catch-up. After all, it wasn't long ago that he was appearing in his first-ever football game. You read that right, not his first-ever NFL game, but his first-ever game of organized football. Where the players around him had years of experience in Pop Warner, high school, and college, he was only just learning the game. He was discovered in part through Osi Umenyiora's 'Uprise Academy". He then received an invitation to the International NFL Combine at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, where he auditioned for scouts and ultimately earned his opportunity in Kansas City.'Words can barely express it, to be honest,' Godrick told A to Z Sports after preseason Week 1 in 2023. 'The atmosphere was definitely something I had never experienced, but I did my best to keep my head on a swivel and just play ball.' Now, in his third year in the system, Godrick isn't just playing catch-up. He's making a case to contribute in a way that he hasn't up to this point in his NFL career. Chiefs' international OL Chukwuebuka 'Chu' Godrick could finally make an impact in 2025 After playing a good portion of training camp with the third-team offense at tackle, Godrick graduated to play some interior offensive line and tackle with the second-team offense in training camp practice on Thursday, Day 14. Asked about Godrick's progress, Chiefs HC Andy Reid seemed pleasantly surprised by what he's seen from the third-year professional.'He's (Chukwuebuka Godrick) actually doing a good job," Reid said. "Talking about Chu here. He's actually doing a good job out there. He's worked guard, he's worked tackle, he's trying to get into that flex position where he can help out and compete. But he's having a good camp so far. Look forward to seeing him in the games.' With preseason Week 1 against the Arizona Cardinals on deck, Godrick has a big opportunity ahead of him. Of course, he could spend another season on the practice squad with his roster-exempt status. On the other hand, he could prove that he has what it takes to suit up regularly on Sunday and provide multi-positional depth on the offensive line. "Yeah, well, he's getting there for sure," Reid said of Godrick's preparedness for the regular season. "Yeah, for sure. This will be a big, big camp for him as we go.'This story was originally reported by A to Z Sports on Aug 7, 2025, where it first appeared.

Rookie CB Nohl Williams makes honest admission about his performance at Chiefs training camp thus far
Rookie CB Nohl Williams makes honest admission about his performance at Chiefs training camp thus far originally appeared on A to Z Sports. The Kansas City Chiefs reinforced their depth at the cornerback position when they selected Nohl Williams in the third round of the 2025 NFL is a physical, ball-hawking defender, making him a perfect fit for defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo's system. He has mostly played with the second-team defense throughout training camp, but has also spent a little time with the first-team as veteran CB Kristian Fulton has been on the PUP spoke to the media after Thursday's practice, and admitted that he's had his ups and downs during his first pro training camp. "It's been ups and downs," Williams said. "I put myself in uncomfortable situations so I can mess up now and then. Then in the game when the bullets are really flying, I can show out for my team." It's easy to forget that training camp is for learning, and players aren't always going to look good on every rep, especially rookies. In fact, coaches sometimes purposely put them bad situations just to see how they respond. Williams went on to say that he's getting more comfortable with each passing day. "I'm getting comfortable more and more," Williams said. "The more I study, the more it starts to gel with me. Watching the veterans, they've been in the system for a while, so (I'm) just learning from them, picking their brains, and I feel like every day I get a step closer to our goal." During his last two collegiate seasons with the California Golden Bears, Williams recorded 105 total tackles, nine interceptions, 15 passes defensed, and two forced fumbles. That type of playmaking ability is what the Chiefs' defense needs after finishing in the middle of the league in forced turnovers last season. Williams will get his first taste of NFL game action on Saturday when the Chiefs face the Arizona story was originally reported by A to Z Sports on Aug 7, 2025, where it first appeared.

Chiefs HC Andy Reid provides first training camp injury updates, including two surprise players slated for the PUP list
Chiefs HC Andy Reid provides first training camp injury updates, including two surprise players slated for the PUP list originally appeared on A to Z Sports. The Kansas City Chiefs are officially in St. Joseph, Missouri, at Missouri Western State University for their 2025 NFL training camp. Chiefs HC Andy Reid addressed the media as players and coaches arrived ahead of the team's first meeting on Monday, July 21. He provided media members with a brief update on the injury situation heading into training camp, starting with the players who would begin on the Active/PUP list. Chiefs RT Jawaan Taylor, CB Kristian Fulton, and TE Tre Watson to start on the Active/PUP list Surprisingly, second-year TE Jared Wiley, who is working his way back from an ACL injury, avoided the list. However, a starting offensive lineman and a projected starter at cornerback are among the three players who will be sidelined on the Active/PUP list, according to Reid. "As far as any of the injuries go, I can update you real quick," Reid began. " PUP, the people that will start on PUP. (Kristian) Fulton will start on PUP, Jawaan Taylor, and Tre Watson. So, those three will start there. Everybody else is good to go." Chiefs starting RT Jawaan Taylor, who had a knee procedure during the offseason after playing through a knee injury during the 2024 NFL season, will begin training camp on the PUP list. This opens the opportunity for the Chiefs' newest additions at offensive tackle to carve out a role for themselves, at least early on in training camp. "Jawaan (Taylor) is out for the beginning of it," Reid said. "So we'll just flip those two guys (Josh Simmons and Jaylon Moore) and they'll work in there, and we'll go from there. Andy (Heck) rotates all those guys anyway."Reid emphasized that of the three heading to the Active/PUP list, Taylor is the closest to returning to the field. "Yeah, well, we're hoping it's relatively fast," Reid said. "So I tell you, Jawaan (Taylor) is probably closer right now." As for Kristian Fulton, one of the Chiefs' top free agent signings, he'd been limited due to an undisclosed knee injury throughout OTAs and mandatory minicamp. It's unclear when he could return to the field, but this will certainly hurt his chances of entering the starting lineup opposite Jaylen Watson and Trent McDuffie. Tre Watson, a 2025 undrafted free agent out of Texas A&M, hasn't participated in a practice since the Chiefs' rookie minicamp. He's also dealing with an undisclosed injury. He's someone the team clearly likes, as they've kept him around and seem to have intentions of doing so through training camp, despite him not yet being ready to see the field. What is the Active/PUP list, and when can players return to the field? Players who are placed on the Active/PUP list at the onset of training camp will still count toward the 90-man offseason roster. They can still participate in team meetings and rehab work on the sidelines during practice. They can be removed from the list at any point during training camp, but they cannot be reinstated once removed. Being on the Active/PUP list makes players eligible for the Reserve/PUP list during roster cuts. If a player is placed on the Reserve/PUP list during roster cuts, they won't initially count toward the 53-man roster. They won't be allowed to participate in practice, but can attend team meetings and do rehab work at the facility during the first four weeks of the four weeks, the Chiefs can open up a 21-day practice window, during which period they can activate players from the Reserve/PUP list to the 53-man roster at any time. If a player is not activated during the 21-day window, they'll be placed on the injured reserve the to see embedded media.
