33 views

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Ahead of the Monday Night Football Week 5 game in Jacksonville on Monday, October 6, Patrick Mahomes unexpectedly appeared on the Chiefs’ injury report with a groin issue. Even so, he was listed as a full participant in Thursday’s practice — a positive sign for his availability.

After starting 0–2, Kansas City (2–2) reignited momentum with a 37–20 win over the Baltimore Ravens in Week 4. In that game, Mahomes threw 4 TDs and became both the youngest and the fastest player to reach 250 career passing touchdowns in NFL history. The performance earned him AFC Offensive Player of the Week on October 1.

 
 

Backing up Mahomes on the active roster is Gardner Minshew.

The Chiefs @ Jaguars matchup is scheduled to kick off at 8:15 p.m. ET, Monday (10/06), on ESPN/ABC. It’s an important test for Kansas City’s offensive front against a Jacksonville team in good form (3–1).

 
 

What it means right now:

 

  • Mahomes being a full participant suggests the groin issue is not considered serious at this time; the medical staff will still monitor his workload in the days leading up to kickoff.

 
 
  • Xavier Worthy’s breakout (121 yards from scrimmage vs. the Ravens) gives Kansas City added big-play juice and can ease pressure on Mahomes if the passing volume needs to be adjusted.

Big picture: With the bounce-back win over Baltimore and Mahomes’ individual form, the Chiefs head to Jacksonville in a good place. The key variable is how well the groin/adductor responds during movements that demand extension and on-the-run throws — but for now, all signs point to QB1 being ready to play.

 
 
 
 

Kickoff: Chiefs @ Jaguars — 8:15 p.m. ET, Monday 10/06 (ESPN/ABC).

Ravens Fan-Favourite CB Faces Family Tragedy After Week 5 Game as Military-Trained Skydiving Instructor Dies in Nashville
Baltimore, MD – October 8, 2025Baltimore Ravens second-year cornerback Nate Wiggins is mourning a profound personal loss following the team’s Week 5 matchup, as his cousin, Justin “Spidey” Fuller — a respected military-trained skydiving instructor — died in a tragic tandem jump accident outside Nashville. Fuller, 35, was fatally injured after becoming separated from his harness mid-air during a jump organized by Go Skydive Nashville. His student survived after landing in a tree with the parachute deployed and was later rescued by firefighters. Police confirmed Fuller’s body was recovered in a wooded area off Ashland City Highway. The Nashville Fire Department called it “one of the most complex high-angle rescues in recent years,” commending personnel for their efforts. Known by the nickname “Spidey,” Fuller died after a tandem skydive went wrong on October 4, 2025, near Nashville, Tennessee. (Facebook/Justin Fuller Spidey) Beloved in the skydiving community, Spidey had completed more than 5,000 jumps and helped train U.S. service members in advanced aerial maneuvers. Friends described him as “fearless, focused and devoted to lifting others higher — in life and in the air.” Wiggins — whose mother is the younger sister of Fuller’s mother, grew up admiring his cousin’s discipline and sense of purpose. Family members say that influence helped shape his mental toughness and leadership on the field. A relative told local media, “Justin taught Nate that strength isn’t about being unbreakable — it’s about standing firm when life hits hardest. That’s exactly how Nate lives and plays today.” Wiggins, a former first-round pick from Clemson, has steadily earned the Ravens’ trust as a rotational cornerback in nickel/dime packages, praised for his speed, press technique, and ability to carry deep routes. Coaches describe him as “wise beyond his years,” calm under pressure, and disciplined at the catch point. Through the first five games of 2025, he has 12 solo tackles, 4 passes defensed, and 1 interception, reinforcing his value on the perimeter.  The Ravens organization has provided time and private support for Wiggins and his family, ensuring he can grieve without team-related obligations. Teammates have stood beside him, honoring both his resilience and his family’s tradition of service. The FAA is investigating the incident, while tributes to “Spidey” continue to pour in on social media from military colleagues, fellow skydivers, and fans across the country.“He taught others to fly — now he flies higher than all of us,” one tribute read. Wiggins kept his public comments brief, speaking softly before being embraced by teammates:“Spidey always told me not to fear the height — only the moment you forget to look down and pull someone else up with you. This week, I’m playing for him.”
