Mtp.Chiefs Versatile Rookie Did Not Participate Today After Donating Blood to Save His Mother’s Heart Valve Surgery
Kansas City, MO – The Kansas City Chiefs entered today’s practice with one notable absence, but the reason was not due to a snap count or an injury report. Instead, it was an act of loyalty and family sacrifice.
Team officials confirmed that a young player was excused from practice after donating blood earlier this week to support his mother during a heart valve replacement surgery. He was listed as Did Not Participate, though coaches stressed the decision was both personal and commendable.
That player is Carson Steele, the versatile running back and fullback hybrid signed as an undrafted free agent following the 2024 NFL Draft out of UCLA. Valued by head coach Andy Reid and GM Brett Veach for his toughness and flexibility, Steele embodies Kansas City’s “football player” mentality — a do-it-all teammate willing to fill any role.
Through the first four weeks of 2025, Steele’s stat line has been quiet on offense. He has logged 0 carries, 0 receptions, 0 yards, and 0 touchdowns, as the backfield dominance of Isiah Pacheco and Kareem Hunt has left little opportunity for rotational snaps. Pacheco himself exploded for 254 rushing yards in Week 3.
Instead, Steele’s value has shined on special teams, where he recorded 2 tackles this season. It’s a continuation of the role he thrived in as a rookie in 2024, when he led all Chiefs rookies with 8 special-teams tackles, making him a reliable presence in punt and kick coverage.
The Chiefs, now 3-1 and leading the AFC West, have powered through with one of the NFL’s most explosive offenses, averaging 41 points per game. While the defense has shown occasional lapses (notably in Week 1), Steele’s versatility ensures he remains a trusted depth option across multiple phases.
Head coach Andy Reid spoke highly of the young player’s decision: “What Carson did this week speaks volumes about who he is. He’s the kind of teammate who will sacrifice anything — on the field or off it. We’re proud of him.”
For Chiefs fans, Steele has already become a symbol of toughness and commitment, even if his stat line doesn’t yet reflect it. His absence today was about family, but his impact on Kansas City’s culture is undeniable.
Packers Rookie Dumps OnlyFans Star Girlfriend After Playing Just One Game in First Four Weeks
The Green Bay Packers have navigated early-season challenges, and now one of their rookies is grabbing headlines away from the gridiron. His choice underscores the demands of focus, priorities, and the relentless glare of the NFL.
Barryn Sorrell, a fourth-round pick out of Texas, has only suited up for one of Green Bay’s first four games. He saw about 20 snaps in Week 1, recording two tackles before an ankle injury put him on the shelf.
As he fights to carve out a bigger role upon his return, Sorrell also made a tough personal call. The rookie ended his relationship with his girlfriend, Lily Voss, a 19-year-old OnlyFans creator from Wisconsin whose content had started turning heads.
Voss is a fresh face on the platform, specializing in light kink and solo material. With under 20,000 followers, her presence is modest, featuring affordable subscriptions below $5. Yet her growing visibility inevitably cast a shadow on Sorrell.
In discussing the split, Sorrell was straightforward. “Right now, I need to focus on building my career with the Packers. She brought too much noise, too many eyes on me. I need peace, I need focus.”
He added: “If not, I’ll lose my chance and be left behind under the lights of Lambeau Field.” For a rookie still proving himself in Green Bay’s defense, the statement highlights a sharp sense of the stakes.
The decision drew varied responses. Some fans commended Sorrell’s dedication and maturity, highlighting the cutthroat battle for playing time. Others expressed empathy for Voss, viewing her as a victim of the league’s intense pressures.
For the Packers, the takeaway is evident: their young defensive end is putting football first. As Sorrell rehabs his injury, he’s committed to showing his undivided attention belongs to Green Bay’s defense.
