        Patrick Mahomes to Practice on Tuesday

        Chiefs HC Andy Reid said QB Patrick Mahomes will try to practice on Tuesday. "We'll see how Pat does out there," Reid said this morning. "He's going to go through some stuff, and we'll see how it works out for him. And if he can't work, then Carson will take those reps that Pat doesn't. We have full confidence in Carson. If he has to step in and play, then I think everybody, coaches and players, have full confidence that he can go in and do a nice job." Said Mahomes: "If I feel like I can play and go out there and win a football game, I will." We’ll see how the week progresses, but there’s at least a chance that Mahomes suits up vs. Houston on Saturday.
