Rehab? QB competition? Behind Taysom Hill's painful BYU return | CBSSports.com

To reinforce Hill's decision, Lewis set up a meeting with Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid and trainer Rick Burkholder. Lewis knew both from his days with the Eagles, and BYU just happened to be playing a November game against Missouri at Arrowhead Stadium. "I wanted to put Taysom's mind at ease," Lewis said.

NFL draft profile: Ohio State WR Braxton Miller is worth the wait | Yahoo Sports

He’d be best in an offense that spreads the ball around, uses lots of three- and four-receiver sets and is willing to dial up a gadget play or two to get the ball in Miller’s hands each week.

David Dahl, who lost spleen after outfield collision, still rising with Colorado Rockies | ESPN

The spleen, a lymphatic organ located in the upper-left portion of the abdomen, filters blood and plays a major role in the immune system. It's protected by the ribs, but the consequences can be dire when it absorbs a significant blow. Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith lacerated his spleen in December 2014, missed the regular-season finale and spent the offseason in recovery mode. In September, an autopsy determined that Evan Murray, a 17-year-old quarterback at Warren Hills Regional High School in New Jersey, had died of massive internal bleeding following a spleen-related injury.

"It’s good to see people call us and not always have to beg," McKenzie said with a wide smile Saturday night at the club’s annual Commitment to Excellence award dinner at the Airport Hilton. "I think people can see what we’re doing. I think our players, they’re showing on the field, and players talk to each other. We had a handful of guys play in the Pro Bowl. It’s a strong fraternity within the NFL. Guys interact."

Kansas City Chiefs have enough bodies for their offensive line | ESPN

Unless injuries force the Chiefs into some lineup changes in the offseason or during camp, the Chiefs have the ability this year to pick the best five early and let them work together. Maybe the result will be a quicker start than the Chiefs got off to last season.
