Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes Appears on Track to Start Week 1 Against the Denver Broncos

Patrick Mahomes has fully participated in training camp, and Polymarket removed a Week 1 availability contract after regulators flagged NFL player markets.

  • Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is on track to start Week 1 against Denver, though prediction market Polymarket removed availability contracts after the Commodity Futures Trading Commission requested operators pull such bets.
  • Mahomes underwent surgery in December to repair torn knee ligaments but participated fully in the offseason program and training camp without limitations. The league considers the market injury-related due to his season-ending injury.
  • Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy worked out with Mahomes during rehabilitation and expressed confidence: "I feel like when it's time to play, we'll all be ready." Worthy praised Mahomes' work ethic as "beyond anything I've ever seen."
  • Head coach Andy Reid noted the team is shuffling the offensive line due to injuries to left tackle Josh Simmons and guard Trey Smith. Reid confirmed Mahomes will continue practicing as Kansas City prepares for game-week schedule.
  • The Chiefs aim to return to Super Bowl contention after last year's 6-11 season, adding running back Kenneth Walker III to bolster offense and challenge for AFC West dominance this season.
