Episode Details

The Chiefs were off last week but they stayed busy. Wide receiver Kadarius Toney joined the team. Cornerback Rashad Fenton departed. Injured players like rookie cornerback Trent McDuffie and defensive end Mike Danna worked their way back, while the Chiefs worked out with suspended end Frank Clark.

We talk about it all and then some on SportsBeat KC, The Star’s daily sports podcast with columnist Sam McDowell, and beat writers Herbie Teope and Jesse Newell, who join host Blair Kerkhoff. The show started as a SportsBeat KC live stream.

Also, as Sunday’s game against the Tennessee Titans approaches, we wonder why the Chiefs are now at 12 1/2 point favorite against the team with the same record (5-2). And the Chiefs have had little success against Tennessee in Andy Reid’s career.

Finally, the bye week presents a good time to evaluate the rookie class, especially with the Chiefs’ large collection of first-year players.
