Patrick Mahomes Expected to Participate in OTAs

Sunday, May 3, 5:12 AM

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) is on track to participate in the team's first voluntary offseason practices, as reported by ESPN's Nate Taylor. Less than five months after tearing his ACL and LCL in a Week 15 loss to the Chargers, head coach Andy Reid told reporters on Saturday that Mahomes is on track to participate with his teammates, even if in a limited capacity. Kansas City's first three OTA sessions are scheduled for May 26-28, and Mahomes' expected participation is a great sign for his availability for the 2026 season opener. Mahomes is RotoBaller's QB13 ahead of his 10th year in the NFL, and his status to begin the season will affect the fantasy values of Rashee Rice, Travis Kelce, Kenneth Walker III, and the rest of the Chiefs' offense, so his level of participation is worth monitoring when the team gathers at the end of the month.

Jake Browning Plans to Sign One-Year Deal With Buccaneers

Wednesday, March 11, 12:50 PM

Free-agent quarterback Jake Browning plans to sign an undisclosed one-year deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a source told Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. Browning will go from backing up Joe Burrow in Cincinnati to backing up Baker Mayfield in Tampa. The 29-year-old signal-caller from Washington has three years of NFL experience with the Bengals, appearing in 17 games (10 starts). In those games, Browning completed 68.5% of his 368 pass attempts for 2,707 yards, 18 touchdowns, and 15 interceptions. He led the league with a 70.4% completion percentage in his rookie year in 2023, when he was forced to make seven starts with Burrow injured. In Tampa, Browning will serve as a solid backup option for Mayfield, whose aggressive style of play opens him up to plenty of injuries. If Browning is forced into starts for the Bucs in 2026, he definitely won't have the top-notch receiving corps he worked with in Cincy.
