NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Preseason NFL football has turned into a game for backups, except for the world champion Kansas City Chiefs who played their starters in Week Two of the preseason.

With backups playing significant reps in these games, it enhances the critical eye of the coaching staff and front office based on the depth of the team’s roster. The backups who make each team will have to play a critical role at some point in the team’s 17-game season.

This should also give the team’s front office a chance to evaluate both the individual talent and upside of a player and the current construct of the team. Do players need to be acquired via trade? Does the team need to grab a veteran who is still seeking a free-agent deal?
