We know the Kansas City Chiefs won’t be trading for wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. now; the Arizona Cardinals struck a deal with the Houston Texans to trade him during his third NFL season.
The Chiefs could still be looking to take a big swing at adding to the receiving room with a few weeks until the trade deadline, but for now, the team will reportedly be exploring a reunion to begin Week 6.

The latest Kansas City Chiefs news
The Chiefs need wide receiver help. A familiar face is visiting Monday: Source | The Kansas City Star
Wide receiver Justin Watson will visit the Chiefs on Monday, a source told The Star.
Watson, 30, entered the league as a fifth-round pick of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the 2018 NFL Draft. The 6-foot-2, 215-pound receiver beat the Chiefs in Super Bowl LV along with Tom Brady. Watson signed with the Chiefs in 2022 and stayed with the club through 2024. Over that span, he appeared in 50 regular-season games, compiling 64 receptions for 1,064 yards and seven touchdowns.
Las Vegas Raiders need to be thanking the New England Patriots for doing what the Kansas City Chiefs couldn’t | A to Z Sports
They needed a butt whooping. The Raiders needed to be humbled. Now, no one is saying they were cocky or showing anything like that. But this is a young team, a lot younger than people realize. And this team is still learning how to win.
Learning how to win is more than just starting 3-9. A season is 17 games long, and they got whooped by the team that did that the best in the AFC last season. The Patriots were in the Super Bowl, and they humbled Las Vegas in a great way.
4 Chiefs Questions That Will Define the Rest of the Season | Heavy Sports
Who Is Going to Be the Chiefs’ Big-Play WR?
Tyquan Thornton being out for most, if not the remainder of the season is a big blow to the Chiefs’ offense. Thornton has been its only legitimate downfield threat that can beat man-to-man coverage, averaging 19.9 yards per catch. The rest of Kansas City’s receiving corps is made up of short-to-intermediate route runners who play better against zone coverage.
The only other receiver the Chiefs have who possesses top-end speed is Xavier Worthy. However, Worthy has been inconsistent so far this season, and hasn’t been the deep threat that he was expected to be when he was drafted back in 2024. If nobody can step up, Kansas City may have to acquire someone via trade or free agency.
Chiefs Cornerback Nohl Williams Escapes Penalty for Forceful Hit | Athlon Sports
The 24-year-old was flagged at the 5:30 mark of the second quarter. Williams was penalized for a forceful, high hit on Nailor, who was assessed for a concussion and had to miss the remainder of the game.
The NFL reviewed the incident and decided not to fine Williams. For context, a hit on a defenseless player would have carried a $17,911 fine for a first offense. Alternatively, a fine of $23,882 is issued for impermissible use of the helmet/launching, under the 2026 NFL fine schedule.
Chiefs TE Travis Kelce celebrates the Cleveland Guardians ALDS victory | Chiefs Wire
Kelce was front and center, cheering on the team he co-owns and grew up supporting, the Cleveland Guardians, in their Game 5 matchup with the Chicago White Sox in the American League Division Series. Cleveland rallied from 0-2 down to win the best-of-five series in front of the home crowd.

Nick Sirianni took the blame in London. If blunders continue, will he be held responsible? | The Athletic
“I didn’t make the right decision,” Sirianni said, “and I lost us that game.”
That decision was allowing the Jaguars to return a kickoff with eight seconds left and no timeouts after the Eagles took a 17-16 lead. You know the rest.
It’s a loss that will sting Eagles fans for a long time, including the legions who traveled across the ocean to make North London feel like South Philadelphia. It will sting Sirianni even longer, the 24-hour rule of moving past a game be damned.
Broncos beat Chargers in Sean Payton’s return to playcalling | ESPN
The numbers weren’t pretty, and there were times the Denver Broncos’ offense was mired in neutral, but coach Sean Payton’s return to playcalling duties ended with a 23-17 win Sunday over the Los Angeles Chargers.
“The guys compartmentalize things pretty well,” Payton said. “Honestly, I didn’t have a big kumbaya meeting.”
Marvin Harrison Jr. trade: Cardinals send former top-5 pick to Texans for multiple draft choices | CBS Sports
The trade was announced during the Cardinals’ game against the Detroit Lions, a game in which Harrison was inactive due to the pending trade. Rumors swirled over the weekend that a trade could be imminent, and now Harrison will get a fresh start after his time with the Cardinals didn’t go as expected.
Texans quarterback and Harrison’s former Ohio State teammate C.J. Stroud was asked about the trade after his game.
“You want to know more? I don’t know what more I can tell you,” Stroud said with a smile. “I think he’s a great guy, think he’s a great player, and I’m excited to get him here.”

Examining the Chiefs’ short-yardage offense through four weeks
Updated with GIFs
Converting on fourth and short is about creating a charge at the line and having the ball carrier make a quick decision off it. Penetration from the defensive front ruins looks and can change the game’s outcome.
So far, these issues haven’t affected the Chiefs’ win-and-loss record, but they must improve in this area moving forward.
The talent and play calls are there; the team must simply execute in these critical moments.
