The Kansas City Chiefs may take a conservative approach with their star player, Patrick Mahomes, heading into the upcoming NFL season. Head coach Andy Reid has indicated that Mahomes is unlikely to play in the first preseason game against the Los Angeles Rams. Since joining the NFL, Patrick Mahomes has always played in at least one preseason game before the start of the regular season. The goal remains the first game of the regular seasonDespite this potential absence from the preseason, Patrick Mahomes has never hidden his desire to get back on the field as soon as possible. The Chiefs' main goal, however, remains to have their quarterback at full strength for the season's first official game.
