Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes appears on track to start Week 1 against the Denver Broncos. Both outlets report that Mahomes does not play in any preseason games, and his early season availability is therefore being assessed primarily through practice and team updates.
At the time of the reporting, the Chiefs’ coaching staff indicates Mahomes continues to work normally as he prepares for the season opener. Chiefs coach Andy Reid is cited saying Mahomes will keep practicing the way he has been, after the team’s first practice following roster cuts.
The coverage aligns on the core point: Mahomes is not shown in preseason action and is instead progressing through practices leading into Week 1. Neither outlet provides details of an injury update or changes to the plan beyond the expectation he can be ready to play against Denver.
