Can anyone explain? Don’t tell me it’s because we’re rusty.

This is dumb and childish
I don't expect the starters will play the first half any more than Mahomes played the entire 1st quarter in week 1 (spoiler: He didn't).

You may see Mahomes get a 3rd drive into the 2nd quarter and you'll probably see additional starters stay in through the 1st half. But remember - Reid is HUGE on continuity on the OL - I think he sees genuine benefit in getting the OL to play together.

But Mahomes, Hill and Kelce - probably won't be playing much more than 2 or 3 drives, Watkins may not even get that much if he's truly not feeling well. I'd imagine they want to see the RBs running behind the 1s a bit to see if any of them can differentiate themselves so you'll probably see plenty of RB rotation behind the starting OL in the 1st half.

Almost certainly much ado about nothing.
