Andy Reid and the Kansas City Chiefs are sticking to their game plan for preseason against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Reid intends to play starters for a quarter, with subsequent backups getting playing time.

While some star players skip exhibition games, Reid believes in giving players live action to prepare for the season. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes is open to any playing time, though he has minimally participated in past preseason games.

The Chiefs aim to evaluate players competing for starting or roster spots, especially the younger talents. Defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo supports this evaluation process and is keen to see who shows toughness within the team.
