    AUGUST 14 - MAGIC - As the Kansas City Chiefs work through their final week of training camp, they decided to have some fun through magic tricks. As shown in a video released by the Chiefs to social media, Blake Vogt, the famous magician, blew players' minds with his tricks.

    These bits of magic from Vogt included making a sharpie-drawn "x" on his hand disappear and then reappear on the palm of players who previously had their hands closed.

    But he didn't stop their; he also did several card tricks, making them disappear and magically appear somewhere else, like under someone's phone or even in the ice tub.

    AUG 13: HOLLYWOOD OUT 4-6 WEEKS - Kansas City Chiefs new acquisition Marquise Brown went down with a shoulder injury after his first catch against the Jacksonville Jaguars in the preseason, and now we have a timetable for his return.

    The speedy receiver will miss 4-6 weeks with the separated shoulder injury he suffered. The team's first game is three weeks from Thursday.

    With Brown sidelined for possibly a couple weeks into the regular season, the Chiefs will need rookie Xavier Worthy and others to step up and carry the load offensively.

    AUG 11 'BROCK IS DIFFERENT' The Las Vegas Raiders selected Georgia tight end Brock Bowers with the 13th pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, and he could be in great position to prove he was worth that high of a pick.

    In an interview with ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce said that Bowers "can play all over the field." He may line up at tight end, but he can do whatever the team needs him to do.

    If that is the case, then the Raiders could still use 2023 second-round pick Michael Mayer while Bowers is on the field, and that could bring a new dimension to the team's offense.

    AUG 11 WIN During halftime of the Jacksonville Jaguars' eventual 26-13 win over the defending back-to-back Super Bowl champions, the Kansas City Chiefs , team owner Shad Khan declared his ambition for upcoming season.

    "It's time for us to win now, ..." Khan said during an interview with the broadcast team Saturday.

    "Whatever we need to win, we have here," Khan continued. "We have a great head coach (Doug Pederson). We have a great quarterback (Trevor Lawrence). We have great talent all around and a great facility. All the ingredients that go in [to winning] are here. We have to demonstrate that by winning."

    The Jaguars certainly signaled those intentions this offseason when they awarded quarterback Trevor Lawrence with a then-market-setting five-year, $275 million contract extension. But now the Jaguars have come out in no uncertain terms where their mindset is at.

    Sure, the preseason win over the Chiefs isn't anything to write about regarding the season ahead. However, it could very well serve as an early preview of a potential playoff game.

    AUG 6 CHARGERS PLAYOFF BOUND? The Los Angeles Chargers finished with a 5-12 record in 2023, and they hired Jim Harbaugh to be their next head coach to try and fix that problem.

    In a recent article by Will Brinson of CBS Sports , he lists some NFL teams who could make a jump into the postseason this year.

    One of the teams he mentions is the Chargers, as he thinks Harbaugh is the missing piece they have been looking for.The Chargers' new head coach has a reputation for winning, as he is a 188-71-2 as a head coach.

    That leadership combined with the talent the Chargers have could lead the team to contend with the likes of the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC West.

    AUG 6 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.
