Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes avoided the physically unable to perform list to open training camp and he\u2019s been practicing without issue all summer, but head coach Andy Reid stopped short of making any pronouncements about his status for Week 1 on Monday. <\/p>\n

Mahomes did not play in either of the team\u2019s first two preseason games, but said during Saturday\u2019s game that he wanted to play against the Buccaneers. Reid confirmed that was the case on Monday, but said Mahomes was \u201cprobably not cleared enough\u201d for that contest and said he would not look ahead to September 14 against the Broncos at this point. <\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s doing great<\/a>,\u201d Reid said, via Pete Sweeney of the Kansas City Star. \u201cWe\u2019ll just see. I\u2019m literally taking it day by day. There are no predictions here on anything. But if the doctors and the trainers and everybody that are involved with this give him an OK \u2014 and then most of all, if he feels like he can, then we\u2019ll address that when we get there. But other than that, these other guys are playing quarterback and doing a nice job with it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Barring any news of a medical setback for Mahomes in the coming days, it is hard to imagine anyone else taking the first snaps of the season for the Chiefs but Reid isn\u2019t counting any chickens before they\u2019ve hatched. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes avoided the physically unable to perform list to open training camp and he\u2019s been…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":824781,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":["post-824780","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/824780","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=824780"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/824780\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/824781"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=824780"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=824780"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=824780"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
