In line to play Saturday Mahomes is in line to play in Saturday's preseason game against Washington, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.
Impact While backup QB Chad Henne isn't in line to play in the contest, coach Andy Reid indicated that the Chiefs' starters could play as much as the first half Saturday. Mahomes thus is in line to be followed in the contest by Shane Buechele and Dustin Crum.

Could return to practice next week Coach Andy Reid noted Thursday that there's a good chance Smith-Schuster (knee) will return to practice next week, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.
Impact With that in mind, Smith-Schuster isn't in line to play in Saturday's preseason game against the Commanders, but Reid's comment suggests that the wide receiver's knee issue isn't viewed as a major concern. When healthy, Smith-Schuster is slated to be a key target for QB Patrick Mahomes in a Kansas City offense that has plenty of targets up for grabs following the offseason departure of Tyreek Hill.

Not ruled out for Saturday Hardman (groin), who left Wednesday's session early, didn't practice Thursday, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports,
Impact On the plus side, per Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com, coach Andy Reid relayed that Hardman is making progress and hasn't been ruled out for Saturday's preseason contest against Washington. While it's possible that the wideout is held out for precautionary reasons, it does appear that Hardman's injury isn't a long-term concern.

Likely avoids serious injury Hardman's groin injury isn't considered serious, Independent NFL reporter Dov Kleiman reports.
Impact The timing in mid-August could still put his Week 1 availability in question, but it at least seems Hardman is expected to avoid a long-term absence. He's been competing for WR snaps and targets in a group that also includes JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee), Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Skyy Moore. In the preseason opener, Hardman worked as the No. 3 receiver, coming in behind Smith-Schuster and Valdes-Scantling for three-wide sets. Moore worked with the backups but could see more reps with the starters while Hardman is on the shelf.

Leaves practice with soreness Jones left practice Wednesday with a sore back, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports.
Impact Whether Jones is dealing with some kind of injury or just general soreness is still unclear, but the Chiefs certainly will be monitoring the situation of their All-Pro defensive tackle with a close eye. Tershawn Wharton should see increased work in Jones' absence.

Misses practice McKinnon is dealing with a strained hamstring that kept him out of practice Wednesday, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.
Impact Consider McKinnon, who is listed behind Clyde Edwards-Helaire on the Chiefs' posted unofficial depth chart, day-to-day in advance of Saturday's preseason game against Washington. As long as McKinnon is sidelined, Ronald Jones and rookie Isiah Pacheco figure to see added opportunities to make their cases for slotting in the team's backfield ahead of Week 1.
