Andy Reid: Patrick Mahomes will "most likely" start Week 1
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Chiefs head coach Andy Reid confirmed that Patrick Mahomes is expected to start the Week 1 game against the Broncos, barring any last-minute issues.
- Mahomes, recovering from a torn ACL suffered in December, has been fully participating in training camp without missing any days and appears to be performing normally despite wearing a leg brace.
- Left tackle Josh Simmons is dealing with a back injury and is unlikely to play in Week 1, with no clear timeline for his return.
- Undrafted rookie Kahlil Benson from Indiana is likely to start at left tackle if Simmons remains sidelined for the opener.
