Cyrus Allen continues to make headlines as one of the Chiefs' offensive standouts this training camp. Most recently, he beat the team's first-round defensive back, Mansoor Delane, during 1-on-1 drills, with the video coming courtesy of Fox 4 Kansas City's Harold Kuntz.

Chiefs WRs Xavier Worthy and Cyrus Allen left Saturday's training camp practice with injuries, but neither is serious. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport hears that Worthy hurt a shoulder but "is believed to be OK." Allen, meanwhile, has been diagnosed with a shin bruise, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. We'll see when these guys are able to get back on the practice field, but it doesn't sound like either is in danger of missing the start of the season. Worthy remains primed to open as Kansas City's No. 2 WR, while Allen seems to be making a strong push for the No. 4 spot on the depth chart behind Rashee Rice, Worthy, and Tyquan Thornton.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the Chiefs are "evaluating" a shoulder injury for WR Xavier Worthy.

Chiefs WR Cyrus Allen collided with CB Kaiir Elam as a gunner on special teams and was carted off with an apparent left knee injury, according to ESPN's Nate Taylor. Allen left with his jersey over his face. The injury looked serious, but was later revealed to be a shin bruise. Allen had been tearing up early in training camp, generating buzz about a potential role as the Chiefs No. 3 WR. He had been earning the trust of Patrick Mahomes.

Chiefs WR Cyrus Allen did some work with the first-team offense in training camp yesterday. The fifth-round rookie drew praise from Andy Reid according to Charles Goldman of A to Z Sports. Reid said that Allen had a good day and Mahomes has some trust in Allen. Goldman also reported second-year WR Jalen Royals struggled, which could create an opening for Allen to pass him if that continues.

The Kansas City Chiefs selected Cincinnati WR Cyrus Allen in Round 5 of the 2026 NFL Draft. Allen spent his first two college seasons at Louisiana Tech, finshing third on the team with 500 receiving yards as a freshman and second with 778 as a sophomore. Allen transferred to Texas A&M for his junior campaign but suffered a season-ending arm injury in November. Allen wrapped up his college career at Cincinnati, where he led the Bearcats in all major receiving categories. Allen’s 13 TDs were tied for third most in the FBS. He also posted strong advanced metrics: a 32.8% dominator rating and 2.42 yards per route. Both marks ranked top-16 among 52 of the top WRs in this year’s class. Allen is undersized at 5’11, 183 pounds with middling athleticism (4.49-second 40 time, 36-inch vertical). But he’s a twitchy route runner with plus ball skills. His most likely path to NFL playing time is in the slot, where he ran 92% of his routes last year.
