Patrick Mahomes News: Expected to start preseason finale

Head coach Andy Reid relayed Monday that Mahomes and other starters are expected to play in Friday's preseason finale against the Bears, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.

In a departure from Reid's usual philosophy of resting starters in preseason finales, the first-team offense is expected to see the field Friday, though Mahomes probably won't play more than a few series in this dress rehearsal. Mahomes played only three snaps in Kansas City's first exhibition and sat out the second entirely. The star quarterback's set to begin regular-season play Friday, Sept. 5 against the Chargers in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
