Chiefs starters logged a half in the second preseason game last Friday, and coach Andy Reid said they’ll get up three quarters in Friday’s game against the Tennessee Titans at Arrowhead Stadium.
That’s probably good news for the backup running back.
Knile Davis carried a heavy workload last week against the Seattle Seahawks. His 40 offensive snaps led the team, as did his 10 rushing attempts. In the two preseason game, Davis has been on the field for 51 snaps.
Starter Jamaal Charles is fine. He caught three passes in the victory over the Seahawks. But the team’s top offensive weapon will be used sparingly in the games that don’t count, and Davis happily accepts the action.
