That should be a major area of concern for Kansas City heading into 2021, especially with three starters from that patchwork unit already gone to free agency. But it’s not the only one.

And improving the defense won’t hurt, either. Here’s everything you need to know about Kansas City’s 2021 NFL Draft, including ordering and needs:...

Berry was placed on the season-ending non-football illness list last week after a mass was discovered in his chest. MORE: Berry on the minds of his teammates He had complained of chest pains following the Thursday night loss to the Raiders, and the Chiefs feared a form of lymphoma after an examination by team physicians. Doctors at Emory’s Winship Cancer Institute in Atlanta made the diagnosis official. “This is a diagnosis that is very treatable and potentially curable with standard chemotherapy approaches,” Christopher R....

Chelsea were thrashed 6-0 when the sides met in the Premier League earlier this month and under-fire coach Maurizio Sarri has made changes for Sunday’s Wembley meeting. Eden Hazard’s role as a false nine has been bemoaned by many Blues fans this season, but he looks set to return to that position as Higuain, a January loan arrival, has only been named among the substitutes. Hazard will be supported in attack by Willian and Pedro, while Emerson Palmieri comes in as the only other change to the team that played at the Etihad Stadium in their last league match....

Rudiger makes his first start since he played in the 1-0 defeat against Manchester City in September.

A changed Chelsea side put four past Sevilla in the Champions League on Wednesday, and confidence is high in the Blues ranks at the moment. Leeds United, on the other hand, were impressive in their 1-0 win against Everton in their previous league outing.

A win for Manchester United will see them open a nine-point gap between themselves and the Blues on the Premier League table. Meanwhile, Thomas Tuchel is also yet to taste defeat since joining the Blues. Under the German, Chelsea have played eight games, winning six times and keeping six clean sheets in the process. There is, therefore, all to play for when both sides lock horns on Sunday. Although Manchester City seem to be running away with the Premier League, the battle for a top-four finish is still very keen....

A Kai Havertz penalty-kick conversion with just three minutes left in extra time helped the Blues avoid a deciding shootout and secure the outright win.

The House select committee investigating the January 6 attack—of which Cheney is a co-chair—issued the subpoena, but Bannon has argued he is covered by “executive privilege.” “Mr. Bannon’s and Mr. Trump’s privilege arguments do appear to reveal one thing, however: They suggest that President Trump was personally involved in the planning and execution of January 6th,” Cheney said, CNN first reported....

Hundreds of cars had driven through the historically Mexican American neighborhood of Little Village on Tuesday night, ahead of Mexico’s Independence Day on September 16. Officials blocked off several streets in the downtown area, citing traffic from the celebrations, and closures extended into the Little Village neighborhood. But numerous vehicles still managed to make it to Michigan Avenue despite the street closures. “Though most major roads are blocked downtown Chicago, many found a way to Michigan Ave tonight for the annual cruising as a celebration of the upcoming Mexican Independence Day on Sept 16,” Laura Rodríguez Presa, a Chicago Tribune reporter, tweeted alongside a video showing a caravan of cars tooting horns and waving Mexican flags....
