The life of a backup quarterback isn't easy, and this week, Gardner Minshew got the start for the Kansas City Chiefs against the Tennessee Titans with Patrick Mahomes out with an ACL injury. But it was also an interesting week for Chris Oladokun, who was Minshew's backup in Tennessee.

With Patrick Mahomes out and backup quarterback Gardner Minshew also hurt in a forgettable year for the Kansas City Chiefs, there are questions about the future of Andy Reid and his coaching staff in the 2026 NFL season.

Andy Reid recently lost Patrick Mahomes to a season-ending torn ACL. After Mahomes completed his surgery and was placed on injured reserve, the Chiefs announced their starter. Kansas City named Gardner Minshew the starting quarterback ahead of a matchup against the Tennessee Titans in Week 16.

Andy Reid plans to keep coaching despite retirement speculation tied to age, injuries and roster uncertainty, reportedly telling those close to him he intends to return in 2026.

Andy Reid and the Kansas City Chiefs keep losing key players to injury. After Patrick Mahomes, the list continues to grow.

Andy Reid will return as Chiefs coach in 2026 as Kansas City misses the playoffs and Patrick Mahomes recovers from a major knee injury.

After suffering a season-ending injury on Sunday, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is seeking out more information on his injured knee before finalizing a course of action to repair it.

The Kansas City Chiefs might be eliminated from the playoffs, but they're still making highlights off the field.
