If Andy Reid is any model of a coach, he likes to play Mahomes in preseason games (and Mahomes likes to play some in preseason). Reid's explanation is that it's needed to prepare for the real thing. If anything we've learned the last few years without OL and Burrow playing together in preseason, is that they are not prepared for when the real action starts.
And wouldn't it be more dangerous to throw Burrow into his first action in the first game of the season against fully prepared teams?
