Chiefs HC Andy Reid said on Monday that he planned to rest some starters against the Chargers in Week 17. We now have official confirmation on at least one player who will sit out.
On Wednesday, the team announced that backup QB Chad Henne will be the starter against the Chargers in Week 17.
“Chad (Henne) will go ahead and play, yeah,” Reid told reporters. “And there’s a good chance that Matt (Moore) is up, but we’ll see when it’s all said and done how that all works out.”.
Henne, 35, has been the backup quarterback for Kansas City during the past three seasons. This will be Henne’s first game started since the 2014 season when he was with the Jaguars.
Henne getting the start in Week 17 means that Mahomes’ regular season is over. He’ll have finished the season with a career-best 390 completions for 4,740 yards, 38 touchdowns and six interceptions
