Chiefs Bring Back Legend Retired This Summer For A Workout
Kansas City, MO — September 24, 2025 — The Kansas City Chiefs have turned back the clock, bringing in a familiar face for a surprising workout: safety Tyrann Mathieu, who officially retired earlier this summer.
Multiple reports confirmed the move on Tuesday. Pete Sweeney of Arrowhead Pride first noted: “The Chiefs hosted S Tyrann Mathieu for a workout. Mathieu retired this summer, but seems he may have made an exception here.” The post quickly gained traction among fans, drawing hundreds of reactions.
The news comes at a pivotal moment for Kansas City. With secondary depth under scrutiny and several injuries testing Andy Reid’s roster, Mathieu’s return — even in a workout capacity — could provide a timely boost. The 33-year-old safety, known for his instincts, versatility, and commanding locker-room presence, last suited up in 2024 with New Orleans before stepping away from football, and previously starred for the Chiefs from 2019–2021.
The Kansas City Star Sports account added context: “#Chiefs might bring back Tyrann Mathieu after recent workout. Vikings’ Donovan Jackson hits IR, and Russell Wilson benched in NY. Full roundup here.” Meanwhile, Sports News Times reported that while the workout rekindled interest, a deal is “not yet imminent.”
Mathieu’s sudden reappearance raises eyebrows. At 5’9”, 190 pounds, he had been a tone-setter across multiple teams before calling it quits this offseason. Now, with the Chiefs preparing for a critical Week 4 road trip to face the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium, the timing suggests urgency.
Whether this workout leads to a contract remains unclear, but one thing is certain: Kansas City is keeping all options on the table to stabilize its defensive backfield.
