Dealing with illness Edwards-Helaire (illness) is not practicing Tuesday, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.
Impact Edwards-Helaire looks to primarily be competing with 2023 UDFA Deneric Prince for the No. 2 role behind starter Isaiah Pacheco, so having to miss further reps could be significant. The fifth-year veteran landed on the active/non-football illness earlier in camp, and he missed a few days late in July due to sickness, but it remains to be seen whether his current ailment is a related issue.

Inks big extension Butker has agreed to a contract extension with the Chiefs, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Per Rapoport, Butker's deal -- which makes him the NFL's highest-paid kicker -- is a four-year, $25.6 million extension, with $17.8 million in guarantees. The 29-year-old is coming off a 2023 regular season in which he made 33 of his 35 field-goal attempts en route to scoring 137 points in 17 games. While working behind Kansas City's Patrick Mahomes' helmed offense, Butker remains a premium fantasy kicking option ahead of the coming campaign.

Back on the field Toney (ankle) returned to practice Monday, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Toney left practice last Wednesday with an ankle injury, but the 2021 first-rounder's return to the field Monday bodes well for his chances of being available for Saturday's preseason opener against the Jaguars. Toney is coming off a 2023 regular season in which he caught 27 of his 38 targets for 169 yards and a TD to go along with 11 carries for 31 yards in 13 contests. While Toney still has a chance to claim a role in the Chiefs' re-tooled wideout corps in 2024, at this stage Rashee Rice, Marquise Brown and Xavier Worthy profile as the team's most fantasy-relevant options at the position.

Back at practice Sunday Johnson (knee) is taking part in practice Sunday, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.
Impact Johnson tore his ACL last July and tweaked the same knee last week, but it appears he has avoided a serious setback. As such, he'll continue to get reps in camp as he looks to secure the starting spot at right corner for the Chiefs.

Returns to practice Watson (foot) is participating in practice Sunday, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.
Impact Watson injured his foot during practice July 24 and missed several days of training camp, but he's back on the field Sunday. That confirms initial reports that the receiver's foot issue wouldn't sideline him long-term. Watson is looking to establish himself as a Top 4 option among Kansas City's receiving corps after setting career-high marks with 27 catches for 460 yards and three touchdowns over 16 regular-season games last year.

Signed by KC Spivey was signed on Friday as an undrafted free agent by Kansas City with tight end Izaiah Gathings being waived, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.
Impact Spivey failed to get drafted in the 2024 NFL Draft after only practicing with Mississippi State in 2023 due to his transfer waiver being denied with the NCAA. The 6-foot-5 tight end will compete for a reserve tight end spot with the Chiefs, logging 11 receptions for 136 yards and one touchdown in his senior season (2022) with TCU.

Could make 53-man roster Remigio has been returning punts and kicks while also working with Kansas City's first-team offense during training camp, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.
Impact The second-year wide receiver out of Fresno State has emerged throughout the summer, receiving increased reps with the first-team offense and impressing the coaching staff. Remigio has also been working as a return man, which enhances his chances of making Kansas City's 53-man roster. As the preseason continues, expect Remigio to compete for a depth role on the Chiefs' offense as well as the position of the team's top return man.

Impressing at camp Smith has worked with Kansas City's first-team offense during camp and has been a pleasant surprise, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.
Impact Smith disappointed in 2023, as many believed him to be the Bengals' top tight end, but the 25-year-old finished last season with just 18 catches for 115 yards and one touchdown across 12 games. It seems there's a different story in Kansas City, where Smith is working with the first-team offense and proving to be a reliable target. He's got a real chance to make the Chiefs' 53-man roster and could be competing with Noah Gray for the team's No. 2 tight end spot.

Suffers elbow injury Bolton left Wednesday's practice early with an elbow issue, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.
Impact The severity of Bolton's injury is currently unknown, but expect Kansas City to be cautious with the 24-year-old's recovery, as he's such an integral part of the team's defensive success. Once Bolton moves past this elbow issue, he'll likely remain the Chiefs' top inside linebacker.

Returns to camp Jones (groin) was spotted participating in Wednesday's practice, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.
Impact Jones has been nursing a groin injury over the last couple of days, but it now appears as if he's moved past the issue. The 2023 first-team All-Pro racked up 30 total tackles, including 10.5 sacks, while also defending four passes last year, and he's expected to remain one of the best interior defensive lineman in the NFL this coming season.
