Patrick Mahomes is practicing, he's healthy, he's hungry — but don't expect to see him under center when Kansas City opens the preseason against the Rams next week. Andy Reid confirmed Friday the percentages lean against playing his franchise quarterback, and with a September fourteenth opener on the horizon, nobody in Kansas City is taking any chances with that knee.
Speaking of quarterbacks and confidence, Stefon Diggs isn't waiting for anyone to hand him a title. The veteran receiver, now on his third team in three years, went on record saying he's the best number one wide receiver in the league — in his heart, as he put it. Bold claim for a man still proving his fit, but Diggs has never lacked for belief in himself, and that alone tends to keep things interesting.
And in New York, the Yankees just made a move that has the American League East on notice. New York acquired a slugger with twenty three home runs already on the board this season, and analysts are calling it the biggest impact trade of the playoff race. The Bronx is heating up, and October is starting to feel very real.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
