12 Bold NFL Predictions: Who Wins MVP, Goes Worst To First, Tops Myles Garrett In Sacks

Finishes preseason with one catch Allen brought in one of two targets for 12 yards in the Chiefs' 9-9 preseason tie with the Seahawks on Friday.

Impact The rookie fifth-round pick didn't make his catch until the opening possession of the second half. Allen was busy this preseason with six catches on 12 targets, but those netted a modest 39 yards. Nevertheless, the Cincinnati product is likely locked into a reserve receiver role to open the 2026 season.

Three catches in preseason loss Allen secured three of five targets for seven yards in the Chiefs' 16-15 preseason loss to the Buccaneers on Saturday.

Impact The 2026 fifth-round pick has shown up on film in the first two preseason games, as he now has five receptions on 10 targets over that span. Allen has only netted 27 receiving yards in the process, but he's worked exclusively with backup quarterbacks such as Justin Fields and Garrett Nussmeier. Allen saw action into the second half Saturday and may well take the field again for the preseason finale at home against the Seahawks on Friday night.

Andy Reid Has Nothing but Compliments for Cyrus Allen's Debut The Chiefs finally got to see Allen in a game, and he didn't disappoint his HC even a bit.

AUGUST 16 • SI.COM

Two catches in Chiefs debut Allen caught two passes on five targets for 20 yards during the Chiefs' 20-12 preseason loss to the Rams on Saturday.

Impact Allen joined Jalen Royals and Tyquan Thornton as the Chiefs' three starting wide receivers while Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy (shoulder) observed Saturday's preseason game from the sidelines. Allen turned a screen pass from Justin Fields into a big gain the first quarter, only for the play to be negated by a holding penalty by Royals. Allen didn't end up registering his first catch until late in the second quarter, but he made a nice leaping, 13-yard grab on a third-and-8 to move the chains. The rookie fifth-rounder drew praise after the game from head coach Andy Reid, who told reporters that Allen has "been doing well in camp...Looked like he picked right up from there," per Charles Goldman of AtoZSports.com. Thornton is currently listed as the third starting wide receiver alongside Worthy and Rice on the Chiefs' unofficial depth chart, but Allen could play himself into a prominent role on offense with a strong performance in training camp and preseason games. The Chiefs will hit the road for their next exhibition game Saturday, Aug. 22 against the Buccaneers.

Returns from shin injury Allen (shin) returned to practice Friday morning, Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star reports.

Impact The rookie fifth-round pick was one of Kansas City's early standouts at training camp, building chemistry with Patrick Mahomes while taking some snaps on the first-team offense. Allen then suffered a shin bruise Saturday and missed most of the week, but he's back in action Friday to continue making his case for a Week 1 role.

Expected back this week Coach Andy Reid noted Monday that he expects Allen (shin) to return to practice later this week, Nate Taylor of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The same applies to fellow WR Xavier Worthy, who is dealing with a sprained shoulder. Allen suffered a shin bruise on his left leg during Saturday's training camp practice, but based on Reid's comment Monday, it's not a serious issue for the 2026 fifth-rounder. Once Allen is able to work fully, he'll continue to compete with Tyquan Thornton and Jalen Royals for depth chart slotting behind Rashee Rice and Worthy.

Diagnosed with shin bruise Allen was diagnosed with a shin bruise on his left leg that he suffered during Saturday's training camp practice, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact It's a best-case scenario for the rookie fifth-rounder, who had to be carted off the field after sustaining the injury on a special teams drill. Per Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star, the Chiefs consider Allen day-to-day, which puts the young wideout on track to be available for the team's preseason opener against the Rams on Saturday, Aug. 15.

Chiefs hit by 2 training camp injuries as wide receivers Xavier Worthy, Cyrus Allen leave practice

Kansas City Chiefs wide receivers Xavier Worthy and Cyrus Allen have left training camp with injuries, impacting a position that struggled last season

AUGUST 1 • Associated Press

Evaluated for lower-leg injury Allen is being evaluated for a left lower-leg injury that he sustained during Saturday's training camp practice, Pete Sweeney of The Kansas City Star reports.

Impact Allen picked up the injury when he collided with Kaiir Elam during a special teams drill in Saturday's practice, and the injury was severe enough for the former to be carted off the field. Allen has been diagnosed with a lower-leg injury, but its severity is still being evaluated by Chiefs medical staff. The rookie fifth-rounder had been one of the standout players during the early portions of training camp, but an extended absence would mean that Tyquan Thornton, Jalen Royals, Nikko Remigio and Jason Brownlee will all have the chance to earn more snaps on offense behind Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy (shoulder).
