The Kansas City Chiefs’ head coach Andy Reid has made a decision regarding the status of star players Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce for the team’s final preseason game against the Chicago Bears on Thursday.

Mahomes and Kelce have participated in the team’s two previous preseason games, which ended in defeats against the Jaguars and Lions, respectively. However, it appears that the duo will not be suiting up against the Bears.

Reid revealed that Mahomes, Kelce, and the rest of the team’s starters would likely sit out against Chicago, citing the need for other players to get game-time experience. “As far as the rotation goes for the Bears, I’ll probably sit the starters the way it looks right now, and we’ll have the other guys get out there and play,” he told reporters.

Reid also mentioned that the team had taken 50 more snaps in training camp this year, which factored into his decision. It’s common for established starters to see limited action in the preseason, as Mahomes has attempted just 20 passes across two games this preseason.

The Chiefs will open their regular season against the Ravens on September 5, following their preseason game against the Bears.

In other news, Mahomes and his wife Brittany enjoyed a well-deserved offseason break, vacationing in Portugal with their children in June. Earlier this offseason, the family also took a vacation to Mexico, about a month after the Chiefs’ second consecutive Super Bowl victory.

Kelce, on the other hand, had a hectic offseason, following his girlfriend Taylor Swift on her European tour.
