    AUG 11 MINSHEW OR O'CONNELL? The Kansas City Chiefs' rival Las Vegas Raiders have two quarterbacks that could be the starter, and they are going to make a decision soon.

    Per a report by ESPN's Paul Gutierrez, head coach Antonio Pierce is going to make a decision on who the starter will be following the team's second preseason game against the Dallas Cowboys.

    The team will be deciding between Gardner Minshew and Aidan O'Connell. The former acted as the Colts' starter this past season after Anthony Richardson's injury, and the latter started in 10 games for the Raiders.

    AUG 10 LB SIGNED Darius Harris, the former Kansas City Chiefs backup, is making the move to the Dallas Cowboys.Harris, 28, has contributed on and off with the Chiefs since going undrafted in 2019.

    The 6-2, 238-pounder figures as a camp body for Dallas at this time but does have enough experience - the Chiefs lifted him last winter from the Raiders practice squad so he was part of their run to the Super Bowl - to maybe help on special teams for the Cowboys.

    AUG 6 NO CHRIS OR CLYDE Chris Jones (shoulder) and Clyde Edwards-Helaire (illness) are among the Chiefs who didn't work at camp on Tuesday.

    “Chris Jones got a little tweak to his shoulder, stinger type thing, so he came out for a little bit," coach Andy Reid said before the absence.

    And in CEH's case? Edwards-Helaire has recently shared details about about his struggles with PTSD, which is assumed to be his issue here.

    Additionally, Kelvin Joseph (hamstring), Nick Bolton (elbow) and Jaaron Hayek (shoulder) didn’t practice for the Chiefs, while Derrick Nnadi was activated from PUP and was able to participate in today’s practice.

    AUG 6 ONE MORE TACO? Taco Charlton, "over-drafted'' with the 28th pick back in the 2017 NFL Draft by the Dallas Cowboys, keeps trying to find a way to stick.

    And now Taco - who has spend some time, on and off, as a Chiefs helper, is asking for something ..."Just need 1 more chance,'' Taco tweeted over the weekend.

    Most recently, Charlton, still just 29, was with the Birmingham Stallions of the UFL, and he finished this past season with six sacks and 14 total tackles.

    Can all of that mean one more chance for Taco?

    JULY 31 WR MOVES Byron Pringle, who helped the Chiefs win a Super Bowl in 2019, is re-upping with Washington, as the Commanders made a move on Wednesday likely designed to help bolster their special teams.

    That is where Pringle, 30, had his role there last year, as he played in all 17 games for Washington in 2023.While in Kansas City, though, in 2021, Pringle did put up some numbers when caught 42 passes for 568 yards with five touchdowns.

    Pringle also earned himself a Super Bowl ring from his time with the Chiefs as part od the team in 2019.
