Overview

• Dianna Russini reported that Tyreek Hill was never considered a real option for Kansas City.
• Hill’s season-ending leg injury extinguished outside speculation about a reunion.
• Rashee Rice becomes eligible in Week 7 following a suspension, with an initially managed role expected.
• Kansas City maintained patience through uneven early results as Marquise Brown, Travis Kelce and others handled targets.
• Reports highlight Rice’s prior efficiency as the key to stabilizing the offense, and note Hill’s 2026 cap hit would have complicated any move.
