Andy Reid Labels Week 18 an Audition for Chiefs QB Chris Oladokun

The finale doubles as a live evaluation of Kansas City's quarterback depth for 2026.

Overview

  • Oladokun will make a second straight start at Las Vegas in Week 18 as Kansas City turns to him with Patrick Mahomes and Gardner Minshew sidelined.
  • Head coach Andy Reid called the Raiders game "another audition" for Oladokun as the staff assesses options for next season.
  • Offensive coordinator Matt Nagy emphasized finishing strong to close a disappointing campaign with something positive.
  • In his first NFL start last week, Oladokun went 13-of-22 for 66 yards and a touchdown in a 20-13 loss to the Broncos.
  • After limited action the prior week (11-of-16 for 111 yards vs. the Titans), the 28-year-old said the experience confirmed he "belongs in the league."
