"We'll see. We'll just play it by ear," Reid said. "See how he's feeling and the production and all of those things. We've got 12 games here to figure that out."
Long recognized as an offensive mastermind, Reid has stumbled through most of the first four weeks.
"The best thing about it is it counts as one game. It does not put a damper on the season,Ander Herrera Jersey, and it does not set us into panic mode. Do we need to figure it out? Yes we need to figure it out."

"You'd love to go into it on a better note," Smith said of the bye, "but who knows? Whether we like it or not, it's here. We have to use it. Get healthy, regroup and bounce back from this."
"This one we didn't sustain. We just weren't able to sustain drives," Reid said Monday. "We had a couple opportunities in the red zone we didn't take advantage of. I have to look in the mirror on that one."
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — In the aftermath of a lopsided loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, in primetime no less, Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith acknowledged that "you own this right now, you wear it and it stinks."
Their offense was inept, their defense was fileted by Ben Roethlisberger and Co.,Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale, and even their usually solid special teams were a stumbling mess.
— They lost two turnovers, both of which turned into touchdowns. One was coughed up by suddenly fumble-prone Spencer Ware and the other was an interception on a screen pass flawed from the start.
"You learn a lot about yourself when you get your butt kicked," Chiefs linebacker Derrick Johnson said.
Perhaps the only bright spot against Pittsburgh was the return of Jamaal Charles, who tore the ACL in his right knee in Week 5 last season.
"We're 2-2, so it's not the end of the world, right? Even though it feels that way," Reid said. "We have a week off to step back and analyze and try to fix some of the issues."
The Chiefs needed a frantic comeback to beat the Chargers in their opener, then failed to score a touchdown in a loss at Houston, before scoring just one offensive TD against the Jets.
— Dustin Colquitt shanked a punt that gave the Steelers great field position, and Tyreek Hill's punt return touchdown was wiped out by an illegal blocking penalty by Demetrius Harris.
— One week after picking off six passes and forcing eight turnovers against the Jets, the Chiefs didn't force a single turnover against the Steelers. Roethlisberger was 22 of 27 for 300 yards and five scores, and Le'Veon Bell ran for 144 yards in his return from a three-game suspension.
— Smith was sacked four times by a Steelers defense that had just one through the first three games.
Even more damning about the performance? It came a week after the Eagles, led by former Chiefs offensive coordinator Doug Pederson, blitzed past Pittsburgh in a 34-3 rout.
Still,China Jerseys Wholesale, that doesn't mean the loss won't linger with them.
Reid said the Chiefs would spend Monday digesting the loss, then cut his players loose for the remainder of the bye week. The NFL has rules about how much they can be in the building during a week off.

But the four-time Pro Bowl running back only carried twice and perhaps was pressed into service earlier than desired because of an injury to Charcandrick West,China NBA Jerseys.
On Sunday night, the Chiefs didn't reach the end zone until the fourth quarter.
Charles came out of the game healthy, but it's unclear what his workload will be like going forward.
Here are the grimy details from the Chiefs' worst loss under Andy Reid:
The onus on that falls on Reid's shoulders.
Their embarrassing 43-14 loss on Sunday night left them 2-2 through their first four games, and with more questions than answers heading into a week off.
