Kansas City Chiefs

Cyrus Allen

WR

It's a best-case scenario for the rookie fifth-rounder, who had to be carted off the field after sustaining the injury on a special teams drill. Per Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star, the Chiefs consider Allen day-to-day, which puts the young wideout on track to be available for the team's preseason opener against the Rams on Saturday, Aug. 15.

Trey Smith

Smith dealt with back and ankle injuries in 2025, which limited him to 12 regular-season games, though he appears to be fully healthy for the start of training camp. The 2021 sixth-rounder enters camp as the favorite to secure a starting spot at right guard.

Ashton Gillotte

DE

Whether the injury will impact Gillotte's availability for Week 1 of the regular season will depend on the severity of the strain. As long as he's sidelined, Felix Anudike-Uzomah and rookie second-rounder R Mason Thomas will be candidates to see an uptick in reps on the edge.

Felix Anudike-Uzomah

Per Goldman, Anudike-Uzomah is standing out at camp so far and drawing praise from his head coach and defensive coordinator. He'll be competing with 2025 third-rounder Ashton Gillotte (hamstring) and rookie second-rounder R Mason Thomas for a starting role on the edge opposite George Karlaftis in 2026.

Xavier Worthy

WR

It looks like Worthy's removal from Saturday's practice was precautionary, seeing as the third-year wideout underwent surgery in the offseason to repair a torn labrum that stemmed from a dislocated shoulder that he suffered during Week 1 of the 2025 season. Worthy will be closely monitored over the next several days but could be cleared to return to practice before the Chiefs' first preseason game against the Rams on Saturday, Aug. 15. Kansas City also got news regarding fifth-round rookie wideout Cyrus Allen, who is considered day-to-day due to a shin bruise that he suffered during a special-teams drill.
