Patrick Mahomes set to start season opener against Denver Broncos
Quarterback Patrick Mahomes is expected to start the Kansas City Chiefs' season opener against the Denver Broncos on Monday night. Mahomes is returning from a left knee injury sustained in December against the Los Angeles Chargers that ended a decade-long playoff streak. While Mahomes is on track to play, the Chiefs face uncertainty at left tackle.

What is confirmed
- Patrick Mahomes is expected to start the season opener against the Denver Broncos on Monday.
- Josh Simmons is dealing with a back injury that has kept him sidelined since training camp.
Still unconfirmed
- Undrafted rookie Kahlil Benson will protect Mahomes at left tackle.
