Good morning, Addicts! Yes, it is Monday. However, there is reason to celebrate. We are at the start of the week which will bring us Kansas City Chiefs football, when the Chiefs take on the Arizona Cardinals on Saturday night. The starters may play a series or two, and then we will get to see some of the lesser-known players get a shot at the spotlight. Here’s the news you need to know.
James O’Shaughnessy continues to turn heads at camp – Adam Teicher of ESPN
"A week into camp, O’Shaughnessy has done that to the Chiefs’ satisfaction. He remains the top tight end behind Travis Kelce and judging from what the Chiefs are doing in practice he will get playing time in formations that also feature Kelce."
Chiefs move Marcus Peters into the starting lineup – Adam Teicher of ESPN
"The move of rookie cornerback Marcus Peters into the Kansas City Chiefs’ starting lineup seemed inevitable for at least a couple of reasons. The first is that Peters, the Chiefs’ first-round draft pick, had been playing well. The other is the looming three-game NFL suspension for starting cornerback Sean Smith."
Charcandrick West is hoping to make the roster – Terez Paylor of the Kansas City Star
"As a pass receiver, the 5-foot-10, 205-pound West has flashed the ability to run good routes and pluck the ball out of the air on multiple occasions out of the backfield as the team’s No. 3 back."
Big plays, fight take the lead at Chiefs practice – Terez Paylor of Kansas City Star
"Receiver Jeremy Maclin made the catch of the day in seven-on-seven when he caught a pass up the seam that deflected in the air. Maclin kept his concentration going to the ground and hauled it in for the reception. … Maclin also beat rookie Marcus Peters for a touchdown on a post route. Maclin makes it look easy, but his speed and acceleration out of his breaks makes him a tough cover. Quarterback Alex Smith threw the ball perfectly to him, too."
