Summary
Patrick Mahomes is back for the Chiefs’ opener after a torn ACL, but his blind side is now guarded by undrafted rookie Kahlil Benson—stepping in for injured left tackle Josh Simmons. Signed for $3.1M over three years, Benson, who played college ball at Indiana and Colorado, gets his first NFL start against a Broncos defense that led the league with 68 sacks last season. Head coach Andy Reid has full faith in him, urging confidence and skill. With Mahomes returning from a major injury and missing all preseason games, Benson’s performance will be pivotal as the Chiefs aim for Super Bowl glory.
