At his post-practice press conference on Wednesday, Chicago Bears head coach Matt Eberflus indicated he plans to play his starters during their preseason opener on Saturday, August 13 against the Kansas City Chiefs. He didn’t get into specifics, but he did say he wants “to get them a good amount” of playing time.
The Chiefs have a veteran squad, so it’s likely they won’t play Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Chris Jones, and company a bunch, but K.C. head coach Andy Reid does have a few new contributors he’d probably like to get some work for.
