Report: The Kansas City Chief QB Patrick Mahomes is been suspended from all sports for placing a bets against…..

For the first time this summer, the Kansas City Chiefs put pads on for a training camp practice.

When players took the field on Friday, a new face was in the fold as he joined his teammates for morning work.

Per Nick Jacobs of KSHB 41 in Kansas City, the back-to-back Super Bowl champs have signed defensive end/outside linebacker Owen Carney.

In a corresponding move to make roster space for Carney, the club waived linebacker Luquay Washington.

For Carney, this is a new opportunity following brief stints with the Miami Dolphins and Cincinnati Bengals.

Once the former Illinois standout wrapped up his collegiate career, he latched on with Miami and spent time in their rookie minicamp and offseason program.

Failing to make their 53-man roster to open the season, he later ended up with Cincinnati on a reserve/futures contract ahead of the 2023 campaign. The Bengals waived him in late August.

Now, the 25-year-old is looking to stick in Kansas City and make an impact on the Chiefs’ 91-man roster.

In his five-year collegiate career with the Fighting Illini, he recorded 116 tackles (21.5 for loss) with 16 sacks and three passes broken up.

His 6.5-sack senior campaign was enough to earn All-Big Ten honorable mention after he started every game at outside linebacker.

Unfortunately for Washington, his time with the Chiefs comes to an abrupt end late in his first NFL offseason.

Having previously been announced as a Los Angeles Charges signee, the undrafted Central Connecticut linebacker instead came to an agreement with Kansas City for rookie minicamp.
