## Resource

Chiefs’ season opener looms with a twist: Patrick Mahomes is ready to roll, but Josh Simmons’ back injury casts doubt on the offensive line. Rookie Kahlil Benson, praised for his quick learning and toughness, could step in at left tackle if needed. Simmons is rehabbing diligently, with no firm return date yet. Meanwhile, new addition Diego Pounds shows promise but needs time to master the system. With practices starting Thursday, the Chiefs are focused on getting their five best linemen on the field — and keeping Mahomes protected.
