Kansas City Chiefs sign Kwamie Lassiter II amid wide receiver injury crisis in training camp

The Kansas City Chiefs have signed wide receiver Kwamie Lassiter II to bolster their depth chart amid injuries to a number of key players ahead of the new season. Fitness problems are piling up for Andy Reid 's team in the position after Xavier Worthy entered the concussion protocol on Wednesday, which he will have to clear before returning to training camp. The 22-year-old banged his head on the ground in Tuesday's practice. He was competing for a deep pass and landed hard on the turf. In addition to Worthy, the Chiefs were on the field Wednesday without Skyy Moore (hamstring) and Hollywood Brown (ankle). The wide receiver position is something that has needed some thought from Reid and his fellow coaches, with Rashee Rice also expected to miss time through an NFL suspension due to his role in a Dallas car crash last March. Last week Kansas City handed the opportunity of a lifetime to free agent receiver Hal Presley, signing him to their 90-man roster before the start of training camp. Fitness problems are piling up with Xavier Worthy (left) and Hollywood Brown (right) both out The Chiefs had an open spot at wide receiver after Justyn Ross was cut last week at his own request. And now, with Worthy, Moore and Brown all out, they have added Lassiter to the depth chart. The 27-year-old most recently played in the UFL with the Memphis Showboats. Undrafted out of Kansas, he spent time with the Cincinnati Bengals during the 2022 and 2023 seasons. Lassiter's dad played safety in the NFL and had 25 career interceptions in 129 total games with the Arizona Cardinals (1995-2002), Los Angeles Chargers (2003) and Rams (2004). Worthy had 59 catches for 638 yards and six touchdowns and also rushed for three touchdowns in 17 games (13 starts) last season after being selected with the 28th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. The rookie added three touchdown receptions in the playoffs, including two in the second half of the Chiefs' 40-22 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans.

Brady queries Rooney's 'work ethic' at Birmingham

NFL legend Tom Brady has questioned Wayne Rooney's attitude during the ex-England captain's tenure as manager of Birmingham City, where Brady is a minority a new Amazon Prime documentary series, due to air on Friday, seven-time Super Bowl winner Brady tells colleagues: "I'm a little worried about our head coach's work ethic," before adding: "I mean, I don't know, I don't have great instincts on that."Brady, who also calls Blues players "lazy and entitled" in the series, made his comments about Rooney following a visit to the club's training ground in November conversations between the former quarterback and then manager Rooney appear awkward. In one exchange, the ex-Everton and Manchester United striker tells his employer about some of the cultural problems he perceives at the club."Why they're playing in the Championship and not the Premier League," Rooney says, "is because... we've all passed a ball, kicked the ball and run, but it's a focus, concentrated for 90 minutes."In scenes that follow, Brady is filmed watching a training session, saying: "We've got a long road ahead."The retired quarterback - widely considered the best player in NFL history - became a minority owner in the club in August 2023, following a takeover the previous month by Knighthead Capital Management LLC, co-founded by financier Tom club were relegated to League One in the first year under their new ownership after going through seven managers in 10 months after Brady arrived in 2023, manager John Eustace was controversially replaced by Rooney, with the Blues sitting sixth in the Championship. However, with the club then plummeting to 20th in the table, Rooney only lasted 83 days in charge at St Andrew's. At the time, Rooney said that he did not feel 13 weeks was "sufficient to oversee the changes that were needed". During the series, Blues fan Paul Collins speculates that the appointment had been based on a desire by the ownership to hire "one of the most recognisable English footballers of the last generation" in order to "put a load of eyes on Birmingham City".Collins asks: "What qualifies Wayne to manage Birmingham City? Nothing."Brady also reflects on the owners' disastrous first season in charge."There was some good advice that I got that was like, 'listen, don't go in there and make these big, sweeping changes - you guys have time'," he said."And of course we make sweeping changes." Relegated players 'lazy and entitled' - Brady Relegation from the Championship at the end of 2023-24 meant Birmingham dropped out of English football's top two tiers for only the third time in their the series, Brady reflects on where things went wrong, blaming the players."Well we've already changed the coach, so it's really the players because the coach doesn't go out there and put the ball in the goal," he says. "They were lazy, they were entitled and when you're lazy and entitled, you don't have much of a chance to succeed."We've got to change all the people that are associated with losing, so I think this summer there's going to be a lot of people gone."That summer, the club invested £30m in transfers, an unprecedented figure for League following year, Birmingham broke the Football League record for most points in a season, finishing top of League One with a tally of 111. Brady struggles to find the Blues' training ground During one scene, on his way to visit Birmingham's training ground, Brady's manager Ben Rawitz jokes about the NFL legend struggling to locate the club's Elite Performance and Innovation Centre on a map."That's the owner right there, he doesn't know where his training facility is," Rawitz says, later comparing the facilities to a "high school".In another scene, during a separate visit to the city, Brady asks a colleague "What's the other team here?", following up by asking "is Aston Villa in the Premier League?". Ambition 'bigger' than Wrexham's - Wagner There are comparisons throughout the series to fellow Championship club Wrexham, who have enjoyed three consecutive promotions since the Welsh club's £2m takeover in February 2021 by Hollywood actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob dismisses the idea that the two clubs should be considered in the same bracket."They've done a spectacular job at bringing attention to a small club," he says."I think what we have here is a club that's already a very big club and so, from our perspective, it's a bit different. The ambitions for us in the context of what we'll build is bigger than what they'll do at Wrexham."In a separate scene, he says: "Our target's not Wrexham. Our target is to play Premier League football against Villa."

Chelsea close to completing £37m deal for Ajax full-back Jorrel Hato with Dutchman set to travel to London to finalise transfer

Chelsea are on the verge of signing Jorrel Hato from Ajax for £37million to compete with Marc Cucurella at left back in Enzo Maresca 's team. The 19-year-old talent, who can also play as a centre back if needed, has already had personal terms agreed for more than a week. Both clubs have also now come to an agreement following lengthy negotiations, with it understood that Hato has been given permission to travel to London to finalise his transfer. Cucurella played a total of 2,000 minutes in the 2024-25 season which culminated in Maresca's men winning the Club World Cup in the United States. Blues insiders have been key to find help for him to avoid any uncessary injuries moving forward. Chelsea have tracked Hato for several months. Mail Sport first mentioned their interest in the teenager at the start of May. The Netherlands international came through the Ajax academy after starting his blossoming career at Sparta Rotterdam. He has captained Ajax. Hato's arrival will continue another busy summer of transfers for Chelsea as he follows Liam Delap, Joao Pedro and more in signing. Estevao Willian, the Brazilian wonderkid, is also set to join his new team-mates at Cobham once their holidays are complete. They are expected back for pre-season training as of August 4, it is understood.
