  "account": "The Kansas City Chiefs have been without their star quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, since a serious knee injury ended the 2025 season. Despite Mahomes' remarkable performance in the past eight months, he is unlikely to start in the Chiefs' preseason game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this evening. The injury update reveals that Mahomes has been fully involved in practices but will be sidelined due to caution. It remains uncertain if Mahomes will play in the Chiefs' preseason finale against the Seattle Seahawks on August 28. In his absence, the Chiefs are likely to rely on veteran quarterback Justin Fields and rookie Garrett Nussmeier in the Week 2 matchup against Tampa Bay.",
