The Kansas City Chiefs have signed Andy Reid and general manager Brett Veach to contract extensions through 2025.

Reid and Veach joined the Chiefs in 2013, with Veach starting as a scout. He was promoted to GM in 2017.

The Chiefs have made the playoffs in six of seven seasons with Reid and Veach, the past four as AFC West champions.

Reid recently said he has no plans to retire.

"One of the great things about this job is when you look forward to coming to work and to deal with the players and coaches," Reid said. "I'm lucky enough to be around good players and coaches. [Patrick Mahomes] makes it even better. He has a unique ability with what he does with his teammates. The 'Honey Badger' [Tyrann Mathieu] was part of this, too.

"Both of those two guys make our jobs very enjoyable. I come to work and have two great leaders like that, along with other players who love to play the game. Listen, if it takes me into my 70s, then let's roll."

Derwin James will miss the six to eight months with knee surgery.

James was a Pro Bowler at safety in his rookie season in 2018.

James missed most of 2019 with a stress fracture in his right foot.

Alvin Kamara is making a late push for a contract extension with the New Orleans Saints.

Kamara has been an unexcused absence from training camp since Friday, which is believed to be contract-related.

Sean Payton has declined to specify the reason for any player absences in recent days, as teams are not required to release injury reports during camp.

Kamara is scheduled to make $2.133 million in the final season of his rookie contract.

By holding out, Kamara could risk losing an accrued season, meaning he would become a restricted free agent after this season instead of unrestricted.

Antonio Gibson is getting more work than he anticipated as the Washington Football Team prepares for the 2020 season.

Gibson played wide receiver at Memphis, but Washington has referred to the rookie as a running back.

"Definitely more than I expected coming in as a rookie. I always expect to play no matter where I go, but sometimes you've got to work your way to that," Gibson said. "I've been getting a lot of reps. I don't know if that's just a rookie thing with them throwing reps at me, but that just shows that they see something in me."

Washington has Adrian Peterson, Bryce Love, J.D. McKissic and Peyton at running back.

Kalen Ballage is headed back to the Miami Dolphins after he failed his physical with the New York Jets.

Ballage was traded to the Jets for a conditional late-round pick last week.

The Dolphins are likely to release the running back. He was a fourth-round pick in 2018.

Los Angeles Chargers safety Derwin James suffered a knee injury on Sunday.

James is receiving a second opinion on the injury, according to a source.

The third-year defender didn't make his debut for the Chargers until Week 13 last year because of a Jones fracture in his right foot.

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver Jalen Reagor is expected to miss three to four weeks with a small tear in his shoulder.

The injury won't require surgery, though Reagor is seeking a second opinion. He suffered the injury during Sunday's scrimmage at Lincoln Financial Field.

The Eagles used the 21st overall pick in Reagor earlier this year.

As part of his trade to the Minnesota Vikings, Yannick Ngakoue has agreed to a pay cut.

Minnesota acquired Ngakoue from the Jacksonville Jaguars for a 2021 second-round draft pick and a conditional 2022 fifth-round draft pick that could go as high as a third-round pick, according to sources.

Ngakoue has agreed to a one-year, $12 million deal with the Vikings -- instead of his franchise tender of $17.8 million.

The Jacksonville Jaguars have released Leonard Fournette less than two weeks before the start of the season.

Fournette was entering the final year of his contract and Jacksonville wasn't able to find a trade partner for the running back.

Ja'Marr Chase of LSU will opt out to etc college football season to enter the 2021 NFL draft.

Chase currently ranks fourth on Todd McShay's most recent list of the top 40 pro prospects.

Chase led the FBS in receiving yards (1,780) and touchdowns (20) last season, winning the Biletnikoff Award, which is given annually to the country's top receiver.
