ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter shares a warning regarding Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes' status | @EdEastonJr
During a recent appearance on 'The Pat McAfee Show,' ESPN Senior Insider Adam Schefter opened up about Patrick Mahomes' progress and hopes for starting Week 1 against the Denver Broncos on September 14. "Is he gonna be 80%, 90%, 100%? Like that's hard to imagine that he could just step in there right away after such a significant knee injury and pick up right where he left off and be as great as he's always been," said Schefter, "I just think there's gonna be a little bit of an adjustment to what he's come back from, which is significant.
" "The Chiefs have said that Patrick Mahomes is way ahead of schedule.. It sounds like he's tracking to be ready for their season opener on Monday night" @AdamSchefter #PMSLive pic. twitter.
