Chiefs' Justin Fields gets head start under Andy Reid

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid revealed that Justin Fields will not be starting from scratch with the team's offense in 2026.

Reid stated that the scheme isn't completely foreign to Fields, allowing him to accelerate his development.

This setup gives the Chiefs a legitimate backup option while they manage Patrick Mahomes' rehab, potentially allowing Mahomes more time to return than if Fields were a total rookie to the system.
