Head coach Mike Macdonald told reporters at practice Wednesday that the team plans to play its starters in Friday\u2019s preseason game against the Kansas City Chiefs at Lumen Field.<\/p>\n
\u201cMight be a couple guys that will vary based on whether they get out there or not,\u201d Macdonald said. \u201cWe\u2019re still kind of working through it right now.\u201d<\/p>\n
Macdonald did not reveal how long starters would be in the game.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur guys are going to start the game out and (we will) see how long it goes,\u201d Macdonald said.<\/p>\n
The Seahawks sat most of their starters during their preseason opener against the Las Vegas Raiders<\/a> last week. There were a few exceptions as Seattle let some of its rookies and younger players who are expected to start or play significant roles this season get in the game, namely first-round pick guard Grey Zabel and fellow rookies tight end Elijah Arroyo, safety Nick Emmanwori and wide receiver Tory Horton.<\/p>\n Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said Wednesday morning that star quarterback Patrick Mahomes will likely sit out<\/a> during Friday\u2019s contest, meaning Seattle has a good chance to see a lot of former WSU star Gardner Minshew at quarterback.<\/p>\n More on the Seattle Seahawks<\/p>\n \u2022 Stacy: Our 4 biggest questions about the Seahawks right now<\/a>
