Patrick Mahomes News
Saturday, August 22, 6:09 PM
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes said he is extremely confident he will be ready to go in Week 1 against the Denver Broncos. Mahomes tore his ACL in Week 15 last season, but the future Hall of Fame quarterback has had a smooth recovery by all accounts. During a sideline interview in their preseason game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Mahomes said he wanted to play in Saturday's game. "I'll try to play next week, but that's up to Coach Reid." Mahomes also said that as long as there are no setbacks, "I'm ready to be on that field." Mahomes completed 315 of 512 passes for a career-low 3,587 yards and 22 touchdowns during the 2025 season. With his former offensive coordinator, Eric Bieniemy, back, Mahomes is looking to rekindle the magic he had early in his career.

Jayden Daniels News
Friday, August 21, 6:25 AM
Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn and the rest of his staff have yet to decide whether or not quarterback Jayden Daniels will play in the team's second preseason game. Ahead of Saturday's matchup with the Lions, Quinn met with the media and shared that "a good amount of starters" will get some playing time, but that he would look at each player on a case-by-case basis, according to senior team writer Zach Selby. Daniels is a player on whom a determination has yet to be made, as Quinn wants to know the health of the players around him first. Daniels is looking to bounce back from a disappointing, injury-marred second season, and by all accounts, he has looked sharp and decisive in new offensive coordinator David Blough's under-center system. The former second overall pick and 2024 Offensive Rookie of the Year is RotoBaller's QB3.
