Report: Chiefs fire WRs coach Connor Embree

The Kansas City Chiefs have dismissed wide receivers coach Connor Embree, as reported by Ian Rapoport of NFL Media. This move comes after a season deemed disappointing by the team, with further staff changes potentially on the horizon under head coach Andy Reid. During the season, Hollywood Brown emerged as the Chiefs' leading wide receiver, recording 49 catches for 587 yards and five touchdowns, while tight end Travis Kelce topped the team with 76 receptions for 851 yards and five touchdowns. Embree's tenure with the Chiefs spanned seven years, including three as the wide receivers coach. His previous roles with the team included offensive quality control coach and defensive assistant. Prior to his NFL coaching career, Embree was a graduate assistant at the University of Kansas and held positions at the high school level, including offensive coordinator at Blue Valley West High School.
