Chiefs start Justin Fields against Rams in preseason opener

Kansas City Chiefs will begin their preseason against the Los Angeles Rams today at 3:00 p.m. at Arrowhead Stadium. Quarterback Justin Fields will start in place of Patrick Mahomes, who is not at full health. Head coach Andy Reid indicated that several key starters, including running back Kenneth Walker and tight end Travis Kelce, are unlikely to participate in the game. The Chiefs hope this game will provide valuable experience for many players vying for roster spots. Injuries to players like Drue Tranquill and Mansoor Delane may also impact team selection.
