Seahawks prepare for preseason finale against Chiefs, key players in focus
Summary

The Seattle Seahawks are getting ready to face the Kansas City Chiefs in their preseason finale. Kenneth Walker III, the Super Bowl MVP, is expected to play a crucial role in the Chiefs' offense, contingent on his health. Coach Andy Reid may shift to a more traditional running game with Walker, given quarterback Patrick Mahomes' recovery from injury. Rookie wide receiver Cyrus Allen has attracted attention in training camp, alongside third-year defensive back Jaden Hicks, who is vying for a starting role due to offseason changes in the Chiefs' secondary. The matchup provides both teams an opportunity to finalize their rosters ahead of the regular season.
