Key Developments
Kansas City Chiefs star quarterback Patrick Mahomes will miss this Sunday's showdown against the Las Vegas Raiders due to a personal issue. Mahomes has been absent from practice all week and was officially ruled out by the team.
The 22-year-old offensive tackle Josh Simmons, a Chiefs rookie out of Ohio State, will also miss the Raiders game after being absent from practice for the entire week due to a personal matter.
Roster Moves on the Horizon?
With the Chiefs sitting at 3-3 heading into Week 7, there is an expectation that the team will be active ahead of the November 4th trade deadline. While the specific targets are unclear, analysts suggest the Chiefs could look to acquire help at certain positions.
One potential trade chip for Kansas City could be an under-the-radar running back, though details remain scarce. The Chiefs' offense is also set to get a boost with the return of wide receiver Rashee Rice, who is scheduled to make his 2025 debut on Sunday after serving a six-game suspension.

- Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes to miss Raiders game due to personal issue
