## Resource

Patrick Mahomes is back and looking healthy after his knee injury, but he skipped preseason reps—now the real test is whether he can trust that knee under game pressure. On defense, Chris Jones gets some much-needed relief with new additions like Khyiris Tonga and Peter Woods stepping up. Offensively, Kenneth Walker and Emmett Johnson bring fresh legs to the running game, but Andy Reid’s willingness to lean into it remains to be seen. The secondary, gutted by three key losses, has new blood including L’Jarius Sneed—but cohesion will take time. With big changes across the board, the season’s true story will unfold on the field.
