Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid is optimistic about the recovery of a key player for Patrick Mahomes heading into the NFL playoffs. Week 18 of the NFL sees the Kansas City Chiefs already clinched for the playoffs,

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid has offered an update on whether or not Patrick Mahomes and starters will play vs Denver Broncos.

It's a common practice among many teams, and the Chiefs even implemented it last year, notably sitting quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce for Week 18. It's rumored that could happen again, but a recent report from Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team, suggests that Andy Reid has not talked to any players about it yet.

Andy Reid spoke to reporters Monday for the first time since the Chiefs clinched the AFC’s top playoff seed, and he didn’t show his hand about the lineup for the regular-season finale at Denver. “The players have been off and they’ll be coming back in (Tuesday),” Reid said. “Then I’ll be able to talk to them about playing times.”

Kansas City plans to rest its starting running back in Week 18, but there is encouraging news for the playoffs.

Perhaps the coach with the best record in football — and in Chiefs history — could get some recognition. Don’t bet on it.

Chiefs coach Andy Reid said Monday he wasn't ready to reveal whether his starters will play against the Broncos on Sunday until he first talks with his players.

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid met with reporters as the team began preparations for its Week 18 road matchup with the Denver Broncos, which will be played at 3:25 p.m. (Arrowhead Time) on Sunday.
