Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is not expected to participate in the team's preseason game against the Los Angeles Rams next week, according to coach Andy Reid. Despite a full participation in training camp, Reid indicated Friday that he doesn't anticipate Mahomes seeing playing time in the exhibition match.

The Kansas City Chiefs begin their preseason schedule with a game against the Rams next week. While Mahomes has been actively involved in all aspects of training camp, Coach Andy Reid stated on Friday that it is unlikely he will play in the team’s first preseason contest.

Reid acknowledged the situation during a press conference, stating, “Although Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has participated in every part of training camp, coach Andy Reid acknowledged Friday that he will likely not have him play in the team's preseason opener next week against the Rams.” The reason for keeping Mahomes out of the game was not explicitly stated, but it is common practice for starting quarterbacks to avoid preseason games to minimize the risk of injury before the regular season begins.
