Chiefs Seahawks preseason Week 2 matchup watch guide

The Kansas City Chiefs travel to Seattle for a Week 2 preseason game against the Seahawks, with kickoff at 9:00 p.m. Arrowhead Time. Local coverage in the Chiefs market is KSHB/41, and the game will also be shown on NFL Network and Chiefs Television Network affiliates across the Midwest.

The Chiefs are coming off a 20-17 road loss to the Cardinals last weekend. Coach Andy Reid has signaled that star players may sit out while the club focuses on evaluating younger players and building depth ahead of the final tune‑up against the Bears. That means opportunities for reserve quarterbacks Gardner Minshew and Chris Oladokun, plus a group of 2025 draft picks to prove they belong in the pros, including tackle Josh Simmons, defensive tackle Omarr Norman-Lott, defensive end Ashton Gillotte, cornerback Nohl Williams, wide receiver Jalen Royals, safety Jeff Bassa and running back Brashard Smith.

There is potential for Kristian Fulton to make his Chiefs debut in this game after missing much of training camp with knee surgery, and coaches will watch his health and performance closely as he ramps up.

This game is less about wins and more about who can hold a roster spot. With stars likely rested, the Chiefs will lean on a mix of developing players and veterans trying to secure reps. The depth at tackle, corner, and the middle of the defensive line will be under scrutiny, as will the play of the two young quarterbacks trying to stake a claim in the depth chart.

Beyond the box score, the matchup serves as a barometer for the team’s long view: can the pipeline of 2025 picks translate in real-game scenarios, and will the organization gain clarity on which players are ready for meaningful snaps in late‑season pressure or injury situations? The answers could shape the rotation for the Bears game and beyond.

Highlights

The score itself matters less than the numbers under the helmets on game night.
