Rashee Rice - Should play Saturday Rice and other starters are scheduled to play the first half of Saturday's preseason game against Detroit, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.
Impact The Chiefs won't necessarily use all their starters for the entire first half, but they apparently plan to put the first unit out there for far more snaps than other teams tend to be comfortable with. Rice is locked in as a starter and top target for QB Patrick Mahomes, with the biggest question at this point being whether the wideout eventually gets suspended for his off-field problems this offseason. While avoiding a suspension entirely is highly unlikely, there's some chance league punishment doesn't come down until after the season.

Patrick Mahomes - Scheduled for more preseason work Mahomes and other starters are scheduled to play the first half of Saturday's preseason game against Detroit, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Per usual, the Chiefs are at the front of the pack when it comes to preseason playing time for starters. It's worked out more than alright for them in recent years, but fantasy managers that have already drafted Mahomes presumably aren't thrilled to see the multi-year trend continue. The expectation of considerable playing time makes KC's QB1 a viable choice for preseason DFS contests.

Justin Watson - Could help fill in for Brown Watson could see added early-season opportunities, with Marquise Brown dealing with a shoulder injury, Adam Teicher of ESPN reports.
Impact With Brown -- whose availability to start the coming season unclear -- unable to practice, Teicher relays that Watson has been taking many of the snaps that would have otherwise gone to Brown. While it remains to be seen if fellow wide receiver Rashee Rice will miss any time this season due to a potential suspension, it does appear in any event that Watson is a candidate to see increased snaps out of the gate this season pending Brown's status, with rookie Xavier Worthy additionally poised to factor in. Also in mix for WR depth chart slotting are Skyy Moore, Kadarius Toney, Justyn Ross, Mecole Hardman and Nikko Remigio

Carson Steele - Increased reps at RB Steele had his most reps at running back with the first-team and second-team offensive units at practice Tuesday, Jesse Newell of The Kansas City Star reports.
Impact Steele turned four carries into 29 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 26-13 loss to the Jaguars, earning himself more opportunities with the top offensive packages. The 21-year-old took advantage of Clyde Edwards-Helaire (illness) missing another practice, seeing additional work over the likes of Deneric Prince and Keaontay Ingram according to Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com. Offensive coordinator Matt Nagy said Tuesday that Steele is "doing a lot of good things and being in the right spot at the right time, and that you can trust him." It's unclear what role Steele will have with the team in 2024, whether at running back or fullback, but he's doing a good job endearing himself to the coaching staff.

Hollywood Brown - To miss 4-to-6 weeks Brown (shoulder) is expected to miss 4-to-6 weeks due to a sternoclavicular injury suffered during Kansas City's preseason opener against the Jaguars, Jordan Schultz of BleacherRep...
Impact Brown's recovery timetable aligns with coach Andy Reid's earlier indication that his injury is the same that former Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill missed Weeks 2-5 due to back in 2019. The timing makes it appear unlikely that Brown will be available for Kansas City's regular-season opener against the Ravens on Thursday, Sept. 5, though the team has yet to rule him out. If Brown's recovery timeline ends up being closer to six weeks, he could even be a candidate to begin the year on IR. Given that Rashee Rice's legal issues and potential suspension are still pending, that leaves Xavier Worthy, Justin Watson, Skyy Moore and Kadarius Toney as the top guaranteed options in the wide receiver room.

Wanya Morris - Dealing with knee injury Morris has a bone bruise in his knee, Charles Goldman of AtoZSports.com reports.
Impact Morris hurt his knee in practice last Wednesday and remained sidelined Monday. The nature of his injury suggests that he probably isn't slated for an extended absence.

Cam Jones - Two tackles vs. Jacksonville Jones (chest) registered two tackles (one solo) in Saturday's 26-13 preseason loss to the Jaguars.
Impact Jones missed the final three playoff games for the Chiefs last season due to a chest injury he sustained in the wild-card round against the Dolphins. He was back on the field for Kansas City's preseason opener, when he played 39 snaps (29 on defense, 10 on special teams). Jones played mostly on special teams last season, and he's looking to make the Chiefs' 53-man roster in a depth linebacker role.

McKade Mettauer - Dealing with torn MCL Mettauer sustained a tear in his MCL in Saturday's preseason game against the Jaguars, Charles Goldman of AtoZSports.com reports.
Impact Head coach Andy Reid told reporters Monday that the tear won't require surgery. It appears Mettauer's injury isn't season ending, however the timeline of his recovery is not yet clear, though he likely won't see the field for the rest of the preseason. He signed with the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent in May and was competing for a depth spot on the offensive line before the injury.

Justin Reid - Taken off NFI list The Chiefs took Reid (quad) off the active/non-football injury list Monday, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.
Impact Reid returned to practice after a quad injury landed him on the NFI list last month. Now healthy, he will look to build off the career-year he had last season.
