The full NFL schedule was released on Thursday, putting an end to the hype, leaks and misinformation preceding the big annual announcement.

For the Chiefs, the back end of the schedule appears more manageable than the first half.

On today’s SportsBeat KC podcast, KC Star beat writers Herbie Teope and Jesse Newell break down the slate of games facing the Chiefs this fall. Their next campaign opens with a road game against the Arizona Cardinals on Sept. 11.

After a break, you’ll hear from two draft picks who participated in last week’s rookie minicamp — cornerback Joshua Williams from Fayetteville State and safety Nazeeh Johnson from Marshall.
