  "account": "Patrick Mahomes, the standout quarterback of the Kansas City Chiefs, is set to play in the team's Week 1 home opener against the Denver Broncos on Monday Night Football. Despite being listed on the Chiefs injury report due to a knee issue, Mahomes has fully participated in all of the team's practices this week and has not received an official game status designation.\n\nIt is clear that Mahomes will not miss any time due to his injury and will start at quarterback for the Chiefs in Monday Night Football. In the event that Mahomes needs to leave the field during the game, Kansas City has a solid backup plan in veteran signal-caller Justin Fields, who would take over under center for the two-time MVP.",
