Head coach Andy Reid has already announced that Patrick Mahomes will rest against the Denver Broncos, which provides insight into his availability for players, which could depend on contract incentives.

Chiefs head coach Andy Reid has confirmed that Patrick Mahomes will sit out the trip to Denver, giving the three-time Super Bowl MVP a week of rest after a busy festive period. The Chiefs have already secured No. 1 seed in the AFC and have the luxury of resting players.

Andy Reid spoke to reporters Monday for the first time since the Chiefs clinched the AFC’s top playoff seed, and he didn’t show his hand about the lineup for the regular-season finale at Denver. “The players have been off and they’ll be coming back in (Tuesday),” Reid said. “Then I’ll be able to talk to them about playing times.”
