On Wednesday, Kansas City Chiefs’ head coach Andy Reid announced that his backup quarterback Carson Wentz will take Patrick Mahomes’ place in Sunday’s regular-season finale against the Denver Broncos at Empower Field.
And while Mahomes won’t be making direct preparations to play in Denver, offensive coordinator Matt Nagy said that the starting quarterback will be getting ready for the offseason by stepping back to see how the team’s offense works from a coach’s perspective.
Meanwhile, Nagy and Wentz will be hard at work.
”He made a little joke yesterday in practice that this was the most he’s talked in one day all year,” recalled the coordinator on Thursday.
