  • Chiefs' James Winchester: Should be good for Week 1

    Special teams coordinator Dave Toub said Tuesday that Winchester (shoulder) will be held out of practice this week and should be ready for the Chiefs' regular-season opener against the Ravens, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.

    Winchester suffered an AC sprain in his shoulder in Saturday's preseason game against the Lions. Toub appeared optimistic Tuesday that the rest will be enough for Winchester to be ready for the regular-season opener. The Chiefs signed Randen Plattner on Monday to handle special-teams snaps in case Winchester is sidelined for longer than anticipated.

  • Chiefs' James Winchester: Lands on COVID list

    Winchester was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday, Charles Goldman of Chiefs Wire reports.

    Winchester first joined the Chiefs in 2015, and he signed a five-year contract extension in 2017. It is unclear how much time the 31-year-old will miss, but as a precaution, Kansas City has brought in Drew Scott as a temporary replacement.
