Kansas City Chiefs head coach\u00a0Andy Reid<\/a>\u00a0announced a surprise decision regarding quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end\u00a0Travis Kelce<\/a>\u00a0ahead of Saturday\u2019s preseason game against the Detroit Lions.<\/p>\n

NFL<\/a>\u00a0teams generally give their star players little playing time (or none at all) during the preseason, wanting to minimize the risk of injury. But on Thursday, Reid announced an interesting decision involving Patrick Mahomes and his key players.<\/p>\n

Per Pete Sweeney of\u00a0Arrowhead Pride<\/a>, Reid said the Chiefs\u2019 first team will play the first half against Detroit. Sweeney added that it will be the last preseason action Mahomes sees.<\/p>\n

Mahomes saw limited playing time in last week\u2019s preseason opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars, completing three of four pass attempts for 27 yards. Kelce caught one pass for seven yards in the contest, a 26-13 Jacksonville victory.<\/p>\n

Mahomes says Travis Kelce’s work ethic at training camp is “remarkable.”<\/p>\n

“It makes my job easier as a leader to push other guys, because I can just say, ‘Look at the Hall of Famer who’s out here practicing harder than anybody.'”#ChiefsKingdom<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/FzywMGSJ06<\/a><\/p>\n
