The Kansas City Chiefs rested their starters against the Chicago Bears on Thursday night, giving many lesser-known players a chance to fight for a spot on their 53-man roster.
Though the efforts of Kansas City’s second, third, and fourth-stringers were admirable in the Chiefs’ 34-21 loss to Chicago, head coach Andy Reid and general manager Brett Veach will have to part with many of the players who saw action against the Bears.
Take a look at the snap counts from Kansas City’s latest defeat, which were posted by Kansas City Chiefs on SI deputy editor Jordan Foote on Twitter after the game:

While it is hard to draw conclusions from raw data in the preseason, Kansas City’s coaching staff is sure to have seen enough to know which players earned their spot on the Chiefs’ 53-man roster.
Stay tuned to see how Reid and Veach decide to construct Kansas City’s roster over the next few days.
