Team news: Kansas City Chiefs | Page 46

Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy told reporters Friday that “More than anything, Clyde is our starter, Le’Veon is going to play, and you just allow the process to take care of itself. And the thing that you want to do is make sure you’re keeping the opposing team off-balance."

Bieniemy is one of the best offensive minds in the game and has no issue saying that the best player for the situation will get the snaps/touches. CEH's upside will continue to be hampered by Bell's presence.

Ravens wide receiver Marquise Brown was targeted with passes twice during Sunday’s 28-24 loss to the Steelers and that usage appeared to rub him the wrong way.

Brown tweeted “What’s the point of having souljas when you never use them?” on Sunday and then deleted the post a short time later.

Brown caught one of the two balls thrown his way for a three-yard touchdown. He has 27 catches for 379 yards and two touchdowns, which leaves him on pace to better his rookie numbers in the first two categories even if he’d clearly like to be doing more than he’s been tasked with to this point in the season, the story said. After big Week 1s the past two seasons, Brown's stats have dropped now both years from that point.

Philadelphia Eagles coach Doug Pederson said that he did not consider replacing Carson Wentz with Jalen Hurts during Sunday's night's game against the Dallas Cowboys, adding that Jalen Hurts and Nate Sudfeld need to be ready in case that situation comes up down the road.

Wentz turned the ball over four times and ended 15-of-27 for 123 yards with a pair of touchdowns in a 23-9 win over the Cowboys. Wentz is on pace for the worst statistical season of his career. He leads the league in turnovers (16), interceptions (12) and sacks (32), is 31st in completion percentage (58.4) and 29th in yards per attempt (6.1). His play had picked up over the last few games, as he led multiple comeback efforts, before tailing off against Dallas, which entered as the most giving defense in the NFL.

Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said TE Austin Hooper (appendectomy) will definitely be able to face Texans on Nov. 15. Stefanski said he feels good about how RB Nick Chubb (knee) and RG Wyatt Teller (calf) are progressing.

The return of Chubb isn't set in stone but it sounds like he's progressing. That would force Hunt back into a split of the workload at least. At TE, Bryant and Njoku take a hit as Hooper would return to the TE1 role. According to the tweet, we should get more updates as the Browns progress through their Week 9 bye.

Chiefs head coach Andy Reid told reporters that WR Sammy Watkins will miss Sunday's game against the New York Jets.
