With KC Chiefs football returning for the 2024 preseason, players like OT Kingsley Suamataia and DE Felix Anudike-Uzomah will be worth following closely.
have their first of three preseason games of 2024 on Saturday night. Ahead of the opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars, let's highlight four players to watch closely as the contests unfold.When the Chiefs selected Suamataia on the second night of the 2024 NFL Draft, there was always a chance he would be the Week 1 starter at left tackle. Heading into the first preseason game, he is the frontrunner to do just that .
The early indication of training camp this time around seems to be that Prince may even be pushing Clyde Edwards-Helaire for the backup running back role. His play throughout the preseasonAnudike-Uzomah’s rookie season was underwhelming. He only played 225 snaps throughout the regular season and playoffs combined, with 61 coming in a “meaningless” Week 18 game. During a recent press conference, Steve Spagnuolo noted that Anudike-Uzomah “” early in this year’s training camp.
Now, Spagnuolo did go on to say that he thought the defensive end was improving daily. However, with Charles Omenihu recovering from a torn ACL, Uzomah projects to be the first defensive end off the bench for the Chiefs to start the season. He might not get much run against starting tackles throughout the preseason, but his play against the backups could still be telling about where he is in his development.
Jacobs did show off his elite athleticism and excellent coverage chops, though. His athletic ability could make him a Dave Toub favorite on special teams.
