Chiefs assess standout and struggling players in second preseason game
Arrowhead Pride reported that the Kansas City Chiefs evaluated both standout and struggling players during their second preseason contest, noting strong showings from several defensive and offensive rookies while other participants displayed areas needing improvement. Arrowhead Addict reported that Kansas City kept quarterback Patrick Mahomes and rookie running back Kenneth Walker off the field in its opening preseason game. Arrowhead Pride noted that the Chiefs lost that game 20-12 to the Los Angeles Rams, with several rookies impressing while depth concerns persisted on offense and defense.
Coach Andy Reid later emphasized reducing penalties and improving technique during practice, Arrowhead Pride said. The New York Times said the 18-day training camp wrapped with Mahomes appearing fully recovered, a larger role for Walker, a shift toward a stronger rushing attack, and lingering interior-line depth issues.
