Coach Andy Reid noted Wednesday that there's "a good chance" Mahomes won't play in Friday's preseason game against the Seahawks, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

Apart from Mahomes, the Chiefs may sit some other starters Friday, with Reid suggesting that he wants the team's younger players to get as many reps as possible. Mahomes started the team's preseason opener this past Saturday against the Cardinals but logged just three snaps before giving way to fellow QBs Gardner Minshew, Bailey Zappe and Chris Oladokun.

Mahomes completed his only pass attempt for a one-yard touchdown during the Chiefs' 20-17 preseason loss to the Cardinals on Saturday night.

The Chiefs' offense was set up in prime field position after the Cardinals lost a fumble on the opening kickoff, and after an incompletion on his first pass was wiped out by a defensive pass interference penalty against Will Johnson, Mahomes connected with Jason Brownlee for a one-yard touchdown pass on the next play. The two-time MVP was done for the night at that point, but he's almost certainly due for a longer stint in Kansas City's second preseason game Friday night on the road against the Seahawks.

Coach Andy Reid revealed Thursday that Mahomes will play the first quarter of Saturday night's preseason opener against the Cardinals, Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star reports.

Per Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site, once Mahomes and the team's healthy first-teamers play a quarter, QBs Gardner Minshew, Bailey Zappe and Chris Oladokun will each subsequently log a quarter of action with their respective units. While getting Mahomes some in-game reps in the preseason is nothing unusual for the Chiefs, the team likely will implement a game script designed to keep the star QB out of harms way as much as possible.

Reed (foot) is not wearing a walking boot at Thursday's practice, though he is not participating in on-field activities, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Reed appears to be making incremental progress in his recovery from a lingering foot injury, though he still appears on track to sit out Saturday's preseason game against the Colts as the Packers continue to prioritize his availability for Week 1. Green Bay's passing offense is heavily depleted at Thursday's practice, with Jordan Love (thumb) sidelined, along with wideouts Reed, Romeo Doubs (back), Dontayvion Wicks (calf) and Christian Watson (ACL), the latter of whom remains on the active/PUP list.

Reed is wearing a walking boot, and his foot injury is not the same as the toe issue he dealt with entering training camp, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

It had been presumed that Reed was dealing with a minor issue and was being held out of Saturday's preseason opener simply as a precaution, but there is more concern about his status now that he's wearing a walking boot. When head coach Mat LaFleur was asked about the talented wideout's potential availability for Week 1 after Saturday's loss to the Jets, he conveyed hope that Reed would be available but added "anytime you see a guy in a boot that's a concern." If Reed's injury carries into the regular season, Dontayvion Wicks (calf) could be asked to take on a bigger role early, and Matthew Golden could function as Green Bay's top wideout.

Reed (foot) is not suiting up for Saturday's preseason contest against the Jets.

Reed's absence isn't a surprise since he's been dealing with a toe injury and a separate foot issue during training camp. There isn't reason to believe at this point that Reed will have any trouble being ready for Week 1 of the regular season, and he could suit up before the preseason comes to an end. Fellow wideout Dontayvion Wicks (calf) also isn't playing Saturday, leaving rookie Matthew Golden and veteran Romeo Doubs as the top pass-catching options for Jordan Love, who is slated to see some action.

Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said Thursday that Evans will not join the rest of the starting offense in suiting up for Saturday's preseason game against the Steelers, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Evans remains healthy, by all accounts, but Tampa Bay will opt to rest the veteran wideout for a second consecutive preseason contest. It remains to be seen whether Evans will be in consideration to suit up for the Buccaneers' preseason finale against Buffalo on Saturday, Aug. 23, a game that will occur just days after his 32nd birthday. Chris Godwin (ankle) remains on the active/PUP list, but Baker Mayfield will have the benefit of calling upon both rookie first-round pick Emeka Egbuka and second-year pro Jalen McMillan versus Pittsburgh on Saturday.

Evans isn't playing in Saturday's preseason opener versus Tennessee, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Evans is healthy, but he's being held out Saturday along with fellow offensive regulars Baker Mayfield and Bucky Irving, among others. It's not yet clear how much the team's regular-season starters will play during other preseason contests. Prized rookie Emeka Egbuka should get a good look at wideout Saturday, with both Evans and Chris Godwin (ankle) on the sideline.

Moody went 5-for-6 on field-goal attempts and 1-for-1 in extra-point tries during a 22-19 preseason win against the Raiders on Saturday.

San Francisco implied a vote of confidence in Moody by releasing his main competition for the team's kicking job in veteran Greg Joseph in early August, and Moody made that decision look wise with his performance Saturday. The Michigan product's first two conversions were relatively easy -- they came from 30 and 26 yards, respectively -- but he showed a big leg in the fourth quarter, when he was successful from 50, 44 and 59 yards. Moody did miss one attempt from 53 yards out, but that shouldn't put a damper on what may have been a big boost to his confidence after he struggled last year, converting just 24 of 34 field-goal tries.

Moody did not attempt a field goal but converted his lone extra-point attempt in Saturday's 30-9 preseason loss to Denver.

Moody kicked off Saturday's preseason campaign for San Francisco after winning the position battle following Greg Joseph's release earlier this week. The 25-year-old Moody struggled to the tune of a 71 FG percentage on 34 attempts in 2024, but he did suffer a midseason injury that may have affected his play. Now fully healthy and with his job currently not in jeopardy, Moody will attempt to get his 2025 campaign off on the right foot.

Moody is the only kicker on San Francisco's roster after the team released Greg Joseph on Monday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

The 49ers also signed four new players, none of whom is a kicker. Moody hasn't lived up to his draft capital -- 99th overall in 2023 -- but it does appear he'll get a third year as San Francisco's placekicker. The team should provide enough kicking volume to give Moody some fantasy utility if he can just improve his accuracy enough to keep the job all season.

Jeudy is among the key Cleveland players not slated to play in Saturday's preseason game against the Eagles, Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site reports.

Jeudy and Cedric Tillman won't play in Friday's preseason opener against the Panthers, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

Olave (ankle) caught two of four targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 17-17 preseason tie against the Jaguars.

Olave (ankle) is suited up and participating in pre-game warmups ahead of Sunday's preseason opener against the Jaguars, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.

Based on pregame warmups, Olave (ankle) is not in line to play in Sunday's preseason opener against the Chargers, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
