BREAKING NEWS Travis Kelce and Chiefs begin training camp as he shuts himself off from Taylor Swift ahead of possible final season
Travis Kelce was back on the practice field on Tuesday as the Kansas City Chiefs began their preparations for the new NFL season. The legendary tight end teased possible retirement from football in the wake of the Chiefs' Super Bowl heartbreak against the Philadelphia Eagles. But the 35-year-old later confirmed he would return for at least one more NFL season as he bids to win a fourth Super Bowl in Kansas City. And this week, Kelce, Patrick Mahomes and the rest of Andy Reid's players reported for training camp ahead of the upcoming campaign. From Tuesday until August 13, the Chiefs will be based at Missouri Western State University in St Joseph - around an hour north Arrowhead Stadium. There, Kelce and the other 89 players on the roster will stay in dorms on campus for the duration of camp. That means three weeks without seeing their partners and families. For Kelce, that means three weeks without seeing girlfriend Taylor Swift. . @tkelce walking to the first practice of 2025 #ChiefsCamp. #ChiefsKingdom — Steven (@SSJWHB) July 22, 2025 'We love this place, and it's a great place to have training camp,' Reid said. 'They roll out the red carpet and take care of us like no other.' Kelce - who is entering his 13th season in the NFL - has a year remaining on his current, $34.25million deal with the Chiefs. But he has not ruled out playing beyond the 2025 season. Together with quarterback Mahomes and head coach Reid, Kelce helped turn Kansas City into an NFL dynasty. Reid is notorious for running one of the most brutal camps in the NFL but the head coach insisted: 'It builds you a foundation that you can bank on.' 'It's important that the guys come in with the right frame of mind, and they know that. They pass the word down to the young guys that they better be ready to go. That helps us in the long haul.' The Chiefs are now one of only half a dozen NFL teams that now travel for training camp but 15 of their 17 practices will be open to the public.

Andy Reid breaks down in tears as new trailer for Kansas City Chiefs' behind-the-scenes documentary airs
ESPN showed a choked up Andy Reid in the latest trailer for their upcoming Kansas City Chiefs docuseries. 'The Worldwide Leader in Sports' put their cameras inside the locker room of the Chiefs as they embarked on an ill-fated quest to achieve the first 'three-peat' in NFL history. The trailer showed more footage from the field, from the locker rooms, and from interviews with players and coaches as well. One snippet even showed Reid, the head coach of the Chiefs, choking up and holding his hands up as tears started to well up. It's unclear what preceded that moment, but Reid could be heard in the trailer saying, 'It's our life, and it's an emotional game.' The docuseries, titled 'The Kingdom' is set for an August 14 release - with episodes one and two airing at 9:00pm Eastern time. In 2024, the two-time defending champion Kansas City Chiefs aimed to make history by becoming the first NFL team to win three straight Super Bowls. "The Kingdom" – a new six-part ESPN Original Series – chronicles the Chiefs' dramatic pursuit of a three-peat, the legacy of the… — ESPN (@espn) July 21, 2025 Chiefs coach Andy Reid was seen choking up in a trailer for ESPN's upcoming docuseries While the hopes for the three-peat died at the hands of the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX, the Chiefs' dynasty hasn't fallen off just yet. Kansas City just recently began their training camp to prepare for a new season of football. But they're already set to be down one of their key pieces, as Reid confirmed on Sunday. Last week, wide receiver Rashee Rice was sentenced to 30 days in jail for causing a chain-reaction crash that left multiple people injured on a Dallas highway last year. Rice was filmed fleeing the scene after the smash on March 30, 2024. While Rice has freedom on when he serves time, the ruling from authorities also clears the way for the NFL to ban him before the start of the 2025 season. But as it stands, Reid doesn't know for certain if Rice will be suspended, even though it is anticipated. He said he is doing his best to make it business as usual as his team reports for camp on Monday. Reid also has to consider that Rice is returning from an ACL tear that curtailed his season in the early stages last year. 'We're going to progress as normal with him,' Reid said on Sunday night. 'He'll go in and take all the reps that he'll normally take. 'We always rotate that position. Depending on what happens here with the future - whoever needs to play will step in and know what they are doing and be in good shape to do it.'

BREAKING NEWS Kansas City Chiefs sign wide receiver Hal Presley, who was ditched by the Buffalo Bills
Kansas City Chiefs have handed the opportunity of a lifetime to free agent wide receiver Hal Presley, signing him to their 90-man roster before the start of training camp. Presley went undrafted earlier this year before being signed by the Buffalo Bills on May 9. The Baylor product took part in rookie minicamp in Buffalo but the Bills released him around two weeks later. Now, he heads to Kansas City for a chance to show Andy Reid and the Super Bowl runners-up that their AFC rivals made a big mistake. In 2024 at Baylor, he averaged 12.9 yards per catch and recorded 429 yards overall for three touchdowns. The Chiefs had an open spot at wide receiver after Justyn Ross was cut last week at his own request. Should Presley make the most of the opportunity that has gone his way, it wouldn't be the first time the Bills have inadvertently helped one of their great rivals. In 2024, they traded their first round pick (No 28) with the Chiefs, who then drafted the speedy wide receiver Xavier Worthy. And notoriously, they traded their 10th overall pick to the Chiefs in 2017, leading Kansas City to take none other than three-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

Chiefs' Rashee Rice to be full participant in training camp despite jail sentence
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice will be a full participant at training camp, coach Andy Reid said, after Rice was sentenced to five years of deferred probation and 30 days in jail as a condition of his probation last week. 'We're going to progress as normal with (Rice),' Reid said Sunday after the Chiefs arrived at Missouri Western State University's campus for training camp. 'He'll go in and take all the reps that he'll normally take. We always rotate that position, so depending on what happens here with the future, whoever needs to play will step in and know what they are doing and be in good shape to do it.' Advertisement Reid said he did not know when the NFL would decide on a potential suspension for Rice. On Thursday, Rice pleaded guilty in a Dallas County court to two third-degree felony charges, including a collision involving serious bodily injury and racing on a highway causing bodily injury. The charges stemmed from Rice's role in a 2024 multi-vehicle car crash in which he crashed his Lamborghini, causing a chain reaction collision involving four other vehicles. As part of a plea agreement with the Dallas County District Attorney's Office, Rice will be required to pay restitution to all the victims for their out-of-pocket medical expenses before the plea, totaling $115,481.91. 'We have been closely monitoring all developments in the matter, which remains under review,' the NFL said in a statement after Rice appeared in court. League sources confirmed to The Athletic on Thursday that Rice is likely facing a multi-game suspension. Rice apologized to the victims in a statement released by his lawyer Royce West, and said, 'There have been a lot of sleepless nights thinking about the damages that my actions caused, and I will continue working within my means to make sure that everyone impacted will be made whole.' In a preliminary investigation into the crash, police determined that Rice was racing his former SMU teammate Theodore Knox at high speeds when Rice struck a median wall. Rice and Knox ran from the scene, while two other drivers involved in the crash were treated for minor injuries, and two occupants of another vehicle were taken to the hospital with minor injuries. An arrest warrant was issued for Rice after the crash, and he turned himself in to police one day later. In addition to civil lawsuits filed by the other drivers involved, Rice was facing criminal charges of aggravated assault, collision involving serious bodily injury and six counts of collision involving injury. Advertisement Rice was not placed on the commissioner's exempt list after the crash, and Jeff Miller, NFL executive vice president of communications, public affairs and policy, said the league would await the outcome of the case proceedings. After playing in 16 games of his rookie season in 2023, Rice tore the lateral collateral ligament in his right knee in Week 4 last year, ending his season. The Chiefs selected him in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft.

Chiefs star Rashee Rice will participate fully in training camp despite looming suspension, Andy Reid says
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice will be a full participant in training camp despite being sentenced to 30 days in jail after his involvement in a chain-reaction car crash that left people injured last year in Dallas. Head coach Andy Reid said that Rice, who had a breakout season his rookie year in 2023, will be seen throughout training camp, but he won't comment on whether he will be able to fully participate during the regular season. Reid said the NFL has not told him what their discipline, which is expected, will be for Rice. For the time being, the Chiefs will operate as they normally would to prepare Rice and the rest of the team for Week 1. "We're going to progress as normal with him," Reid said. "He'll go in and take all the reps that he'll normally take. We always rotate that position. Depending on what happens here with the future — whoever needs to play will step in and know what they are doing and be in good shape to do it." Rice pleaded guilty to two third-degree felony charges of collision involving serious bodily injury and racing on a highway causing bodily injury in the March 2024 crash. Rice was sentenced to five years of deferred probation as well as 30 days in jail as a condition of his probation, which was part of a plea agreement. The Dallas County District Attorney's Office said Rice was also required to pay the victims of the crash for out-of-pocket medical expenses, which amounted to an estimated $115,000. It was determined that Rice was driving a Lamborghini Urus at 119 mph when he swerved around traffic and struck vehicles, causing the chain-reaction crash on North Central Expressway. Prosecutors said Rice failed to check on those involved in the crash and fled on foot. Rice released a statement following the crash, saying that he would "take full responsibility for my part in this matter." In a statement issued by his attorney, Rice said he had "a lot of sleepless nights thinking about the damages my actions caused, and I will continue working within my means to make sure that everyone impacted will be made whole." With the legal process over, the NFL can now go through their own process to determine how they might discipline Rice, who will be heading into his third NFL season. Rice was off to a hot start in 2024, looking to be heading in the same direction after his rookie year saw 79 receptions for 938 yards and seven touchdowns thrown by Patrick Mahomes. Rice played a role in the Chiefs winning their second straight Super Bowl that season. In 2024, Rice had 24 catches for 288 yards with two touchdowns in just three games. However, Week 4 proved to be a nightmare as he tore his LCL trying to make a tackle after a Mahomes interception against the Los Angeles Chargers. It cost Rice the entire season. Since then, Rice has recovered and participated in the team's offseason program. Reid mentioned that Rice would not be limited in training camp, meaning he's 100% ready to go. However, while he prepares for the 2025 season, there will be the NFL's potential discipline looming over his head until word comes from the league.
