The Kansas City Chiefs will open the 2024 season against the Baltimore Ravens, the NFL has announced.

The matchup, to be played Thursday, Sept. 5 at Arrowhead Stadium, is a rematch of last season's AFC Championship Game.

The Chiefs are playing in the Thursday night opener at Arrowhead Stadium for the third time in five seasons. 

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice is a suspect in an alleged assault that injured a man at a Dallas nightclub earlier this week, police have confirmed.

The Dallas Morning News reported that officers were dispatched early Monday morning to the nightclub after reports of an assault. A man was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, including swelling on one side of his face.

Rice, 24, was arrested in Dallas in March for his involvement in a seven-car crash that left at least seven people with injuries. He is facing one count of aggravated assault, one count of collision involving serious bodily injury and six counts of collision involving injury, according to police.

Rice was driving 119 mph before the crash on a Dallas freeway, according to an arrest warrant affidavit obtained by the Morning News.

Patrick Mahomes is confident about the Kansas City Chiefs' chances to become the first team in NFL history to win three straight Super Bowls.

"Next year in New Orleans, we're gonna do it again," Mahomes said on the "Impaulsive with Logan Paul" podcast. "I'm putting it on the table. We're gonna do it again. I'm telling you now." 

The Chiefs have played in every AFC Championship Game since 2018.

Mahomes, 28, already has two league and three Super Bowl MVP awards. He's one of just five starting quarterbacks in NFL history with three Super Bowl wins. 

The Kansas City Chiefs have declined their fifth-year option for the 2025 season on Kadarius Toney.

Toney was a first round pick by the New York Giants in 2021. Toney was traded to the Chiefs in 2022.

Both general manager Brett Veach and coach Andy Reid recently indicated Toney was in the Chiefs' plans this season.

"I don't think we ever stopped believing in him,'' Veach said shortly before the draft. "I think people around the building like him. It's the injury bug. Hopefully, he gets some luck on his side and can stay healthy and can be the player that he was at Florida and the player that we've seen in spurts here. I'm just hoping he has a good offseason and has a little luck on his side and can stay healthy.''

Toney played in 13 games last season, but had just 27 catches for 169 yards and a touchdown.
