As the NFL preseason draws to a close, teams are taking varied approaches to manage their starters. The Kansas City Chiefs, led by coach Andy Reid, had stars like Patrick Mahomes on the field but sat key players in their final game against the Chicago Bears. The Bears decided to sit most starters, including rookie quarterback Caleb Williams, who has shown promise with 170 passing yards and a rushing touchdown over two games. Similarly, the New York Jets, under Robert Saleh, opted to rest key players like Aaron Rodgers to avoid injuries. Meanwhile, the Indianapolis Colts will play their starters longer in their final preseason game, with quarterback Anthony Richardson aiming to gain more game experience after an injury last season. Overall, teams are balancing the need for game-time experience with the risk of injuries as they prepare for the regular season.
