Mahomes' Return Risk in Chiefs' Opener | Kansas City Chiefs News

Will Patrick Mahomes return for the Chiefs’ season opener? After tearing his ACL last December and missing the entire offseason, Mahomes is rehabbing with hopes of being ready — but concerns are mounting. Critics point to offensive lineman Josh Simmons’ risky “snatch technique,” which could endanger Mahomes if he’s staying in the pocket more. Former Chiefs tackle Mitchell Schwartz warns it’s too dangerous, especially with Mahomes’ mobility still uncertain. Meanwhile, the Broncos, set to face the Chiefs on Sept. 14, are preparing as if Mahomes will be at full strength — even while their own QB, Bo Nix, recovers from injury. The league braces for his return — balancing hype with health risks. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
