Kansas City Chiefs\u2019 preseason Week 2 roster info<\/p>\n

Chiefs HC Andy Reid confirmed star QB Patrick Mahomes wouldn\u2019t suit up for the second consecutive week. He\u2019s been a full participant at training camp practices and looks like he\u2019ll be ready for Week 1. Kansas City is playing it safe with their starter, as they should.<\/p>\n

Reid discussed the QB rotations and who else won\u2019t play on Sunday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe way the quarterbacks will play this week, we\u2019ll go a quarter and a half with (QB) Justin (Fields), a quarter and a half with (QB) Garrett (Nussmeier), and (QB) Chris (Oladokun) will take the fourth quarter,\u201d Reid said. \u201cIt\u2019ll be somewhere in that area. Don\u2019t hold me to the play on that, but that\u2019s kind of going in; that\u2019s a rough itinerary. The rest of the guys will follow that schedule. So, as far as injuries go, (LB) Jack Cochrane and (DB Chamarri) Connor tried it today. We backed them off. They will not play. (WR Jeff) Caldwell, with his hyperextended knee, he won\u2019t play. (DE Ashton) Gillotte has a plantar fascia that ruptured. He won\u2019t play. (WR Jimmy) Holiday won\u2019t play, and (T Josh) Simmons and (G) Trey (Smith) won\u2019t play on the offensive line. The rest of the guys will get up and have an opportunity to get out there and do some things. We\u2019ll see how the playing time goes as we go through this.\u201d<\/p>\n

L\u2019Jarius Sneed (knee) is also unlikely to play, but preseason Week 2 could mark the first week of action for No. 6 overall pick Mansoor Delane. He was a full participant in the final week of training camp practices after being limited by a shoulder injury.<\/p>\n

Tampa Bay Buccaneers\u2019 preseason Week 2 roster info<\/p>\n

Buccaneers HC Todd Bowles confirmed he will play most of their starters, as long as they\u2019re healthy. That includes starting QB Baker Mayfield. <\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, you typically want to get between 8 and 15 plays if you can get it,\u201d Bucs HC Todd Bowles said. \u201cIf it\u2019s a long drive, then you\u2019ve got to think about getting them out of there; if it\u2019s a short one, if they go two three-and-outs, then that\u2019s six plays, so you kind of get them out of there.\u201d<\/p>\n

One player who you should expect to sit out? DT Vita Vea, who just recently returned to practice<\/a> after agreeing to terms on a new contract with Tampa Bay<\/p>\n
