Late last month, NBC's Pro Football Talk revealed the NFL's plans for new rules regarding coaches' media appearances during games.
Networks broadcasting the games will be allowed limited access to the locker rooms, and coaches will be interviewed by sideline reporters during the games.
Longtime Chiefs coach Andy Reid said he will fulfill his in-game media duties starting Sept. 5, when Kansas City hosts the Baltimore Ravens, but he also tempered viewers' expectations.

“I'm not a big fan of in-game interviews. I don't do anything too fancy with these interviews,” Reid told reporters on Friday. “I don't know. Look, I have to do it. I'm going to do it. I'm an NFL guy and I'm going to do it. But don't get your hopes up.”
Reid enters the 2024 season with 258 wins, good for fourth on the NFL's all-time wins list.
