Chiefs vs. Seahawks: Preview, How to Watch and Stream for Free

The Kansas City Chiefs head to Lumen Field tonight to face the Seattle Seahawks in Week 2 of the preseason, a key rehearsal before the regular season kickoff.

Despite last week’s narrow loss in Arizona, coach Andy Reid plans to ramp up the competition — though Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce are unlikely to play, giving second-stringers a chance to shine.

Seattle turns to their starters this week. Sam Darnold, the new starting quarterback, and wide receiver Cooper Kupp will see the field — offering a vital early look at Seattle’s revamped offense. Expect most starters, except for Olu Olawatimi and long snapper Chris Stoll, to play today.

Things to Watch

Backup showcase in Kansas City: With Mahomes and Kelce resting, keep an eye on Gardner Minshew under center. This is his opportunity to show if he can carry first-team momentum.

Seattle’s offensive evolution: Darnold and Kupp are central to the new-look offense. How quickly do they sync up with the line and supporting cast?

Roster hopefuls on display: Expect undrafted and bubble players — like UNLV alum Ricky White III — to make standout plays and push for final roster inclusion.

Chiefs injury watch: Safety Deon Bush has been ruled out for the season with a torn Achilles. His absence leaves a hole in Kansas City’s secondary.
