Kansas City’s star quarterback Patrick Mahomes received some playing time during their first preseason game, and he performed well in the matchup. Mahomes completed 3-4 passes and threw for 27 yards, as he gets ready for the regular season next month.

Newly acquired wide receiver Marquise Brown also played for Kansas City in their opening game, as he caught one pass for 11 yards. However, Brown will not be able to play today because he sustained an injury that will force him to miss a lot of time.

Brown’s injury will hamper Kansas City’s offense this year, but they still have Mahomes and star tight end Travis Kelce to move the ball downfield.

Detroit’s second-year quarterback Hendon Hooker received some playing time in the team’s last preseason game, as he completed 5-9 passes for 36 yards. He will try to improve upon his performance this afternoon, as the former Tennessee quarterback tries to earn the second-string spot. Notably, Detroit’s star quarterback Jared Goff has not played in the 2024 preseason, which has given more snaps to Hooker.

Former Alabama cornerback Terrion Arnold has been dealing with an injury, which has sidelined him throughout the preseason. The first round pick will try to recover enough to start during the team’s regular season opener, but his status is currently questionable.
