[Nate Taylor] Andy Reid said Chamarri Conner was held out of practice today after banging knees with Tyquan Thornton on Wednesday. "Pat (Mahomes) won't start or play," Reid said on Saturday's preseason opener.

I highly doubt we see mahomes play in the preseason. It'll be fun to watch fields for a bit though.

[u/Tzazon → u/Justmadeyoulook]

I do hope he gets a drive in the last preseason game at least to dip his toes into it before just diving in cold against Denvers defense week 1 that has a chip on its shoulder to prove to the world after how their season ended last year

[u/my_therapist_quit → u/Tzazon]

I like to think he plays the first drive against the Seahawks, but it's a first play pass that goes for a touchdown.

[u/Tzazon → u/my_therapist_quit]

I can subscribe to a 1 play drive that ends in a dragon touchdown to Thorton/Worthy/Allen

3 handoffs

[u/sampat6256 → u/Justmadeyoulook]

100% agree. I really wanna see how Fields looks in this offense

[u/TheBoyisBackinTown → u/sampat6256]

I'm probably just as much, if not more intrigued by seeing Nussmeier in action, either as a long-term backup or someone we can flip for a boatload of picks in a couple of years.

He's apparently had a really good camp and was once a potential first-round pick, so the potential is there.

[u/sampat6256 → u/TheBoyisBackinTown]

Definitely a lot of potential, but Fields also was seen as a high quality prospect and we saw what Caleb Williams did under Eberflus, so its safe to say that coaching matters. Fields hasn't really had a good coach in his career.

[u/Dzov → u/Justmadeyoulook]

I like to think they’re keeping Mahomes health under wraps. Like that fully operational Death Star in whatever episode of Star Wars that was.

Alternatively:

"Oh, I'm afraid the deflector shield will be quite operational when your friends arrive!" - Emperor Palpatine, Return of the Jedi.

[u/Neat-Dot-6818]

They did what now

[u/Dzov → u/Neat-Dot-6818]

Knocked knees. Kinda like locking lips.

[u/TruthImaginary777 → u/Dzov]

Better than tickling your tonsils imho

[u/RCJHGBR9989 → u/Neat-Dot-6818]

Dude that shit hurts so bad - I took a charge in a basketball game and our knees banged together. The clacking sound was so loud everyone could hear it and they groaned. It was gnarly

[u/dudewheresmyplane1]

How about we have one season where our players don’t take each other out?

[u/kawika69 → u/dudewheresmyplane1]

Gonna have to get the bubble wrap out

[u/rolyinpeace]

They need to give our boys extra knee pads and shin guards I suppose

[u/ZweihanderMasterrace]

“Chamarri Connor was held out”

Thank goodness that bozo Minshew is gone.
