Chiefs preseason strategy will be big challenge for Detroit Lions

Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell has made it clear that the team doesn’t intend to play many starters in the upcoming preseason bout with the Kansas City Chiefs.

“We may get a couple of (starting) d-linemen going here against the Chiefs that didn’t play last week. Offense is probably pretty set here,” Campbell told 97.1 The Ticket on Wednesday. “The long and short of it, maybe a couple of guys. That’s about it.”

That is going to be in pretty stark contrast of their opponents. Chiefs coach Andy Reid revealed on Thursday that he plans on playing their starters for about a half during Saturday’s exhibition game.
