The Packers continue to get ready for Sunday night’s game at Kansas City against the Chiefs. It’s up in the air as to whether Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes will play. He suffered a dislocated kneecap last Thursday night against Denver and was initially expected to miss up to six weeks. However, he saw limited action in practice Wednesday and Thursday and his status is still uncertain. Kansas City coach Andy Reid said that Matt Moore, the former quarterback in Carolina and Miami, would take the majority of reps as the starter. But he indicated that Mahomes could get a few of them, and that’s a positive sign that one of the league’s prolific passers could be back in the next couple of weeks. The Chiefs promoted rookie Kyle Shurmur from the practice squad to serve as a potential backup. Meanwhile, receiver Davante Adam’s status for Sunday is also uncertain. He’s been out since suffering a turf toe injury against the Eagles in Week 3.
Sunday night’s game can be heard on 102.3, The Bug, with the pregame starting at 5:00 and the kickoff at 7:20.
