Coach Andy Reid implied Edwards-Helaire and the rest of the starters will play the first quarter of Saturday's preseason opener at San Francisco, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports.
Reid didn't name any of the aforementioned starters, but if Patrick Mahomes, Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce make earlier than expected departures Edwards-Helaire likely will join the trio on the sideline. But the plan laid out by Reid specifically mentioned the first-stringers will play the first quarter, the second team in the second quarter, third-teamers in the third quarter and the rest of the roster in the fourth.
