Saturday’s game is one more opportunity to evaluate the squad before the NFL’s fi rst mandatory cutdown to 75 players on September 1st. The Chiefs conclude their preseason schedule with a Governor’s Cup matchup at St. Louis (9/3). That contest will serve as Kansas City’s fi nal tune-up before beginning the 2009 regular season at Baltimore (9/13). Meanwhile, Seattle will host an Opening Day contest vs. St. Louis (9/13).
