Katie Sowers will join the Kansas City Chiefs staff to further her coaching career through the Bill Walsh Diversity fellowship, which is designed to increase the number of full-time NFL minority coaches.

Sowers parted ways with the San Francisco 49ers after the 2020 season. He made history as the first openly LGBT coach in professional football and the first female coach to make it to the Super Bowl.

Patrick Mahomes believes the NFL should use technology to help improve officiating.

The NFL has a microchip in every football as part of its data tracking, and bits of that data are sometimes revealed to the public through the league's Next Gen Stats.

Mahomes believes the chip should also be used to alert the officials to when a ball crosses a goal line.

"I've always thought the chip in the ball has to happen sometime, where if you cross the line, it just tells you a touchdown," Mahomes said on the WHOOP podcast. "The biggest thing to me is when they get in the pile by the end zone, there is literally no way to tell if he's in the end zone or not. It's like you said, it's just whatever they call. ... I'm sure it'll happen soon enough."

The Kansas City Chiefs have acquired cornerback Mike Hughes in a trade with the Minnesota Vikings.

The Chiefs traded a 2022 sixth-round pick to Minnesota while the Vikings sent a 2022 seventh-round pick to Kansas City in the deal.

Hughes was drafted by the Vikings in the first round (30th overall) of the 2018 NFL draft. The Vikings declined to exercise the fifth-year option in Hughes' rookie contract, meaning he will be a free agent after this season.
