Sean Payton expects Patrick Mahomes to play without limitations in season opener

Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton stated he does not anticipate any physical limitations for Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes during the season opener scheduled for September 14. Both the Chiefs and Broncos are preparing for the upcoming "Monday Night Football" matchup following respective offseason procedures for leg injuries. While Payton acknowledged the challenge of preparing for Mahomes, he emphasized that the team is focusing on defending his full capabilities rather than speculating on his health status. In other roster developments, the Chiefs have adjusted their offensive line, with Benson appearing as the primary backup at right guard and Hunter Nourzad emerging as the leading reserve center. The team’s first-round draft pick, Mansoor Delane, remains a focal point as he begins his professional career following his collegiate stint at Archbishop Spalding.
