Three stories for Chiefs vs Lions

Specifically, will we see Patrick Mahomes hook up with rookie speedster Xavier Worthy? The NFL Combine 40-yard record holder could be in line for additional work early after an injury suffered by Hollywood Brown in the first preseason game.

Also of note: Justyn Ross is pushing for a roster spot after a productive camp. Receivers are definitely a position to watch.

Andy Reid said this week that he expects the two to play the first half, but history says you can usually take Reid’s projection and cut it in half. Like, the ones ready to play the first quarter of the first preseason game … and Mahomes didn’t even make it five minutes.

You’re not going to learn a lot from the preseason, especially with a team like the Chiefs. But Carson Steele continues to be a name to watch, and he appeared again at our pregame writers’ roundtable. The star of the preseason opener, Steele is spending more time with the starters and could help solidify KC’s running back position…if he can continue to put up good days.
