Mahomes returns in Week 1 after knee injury with unproven left tackle protection.

Mahomes will face the Denver Broncos in Week 1 in his first live action since suffering a devastating knee injury in December; he did not take any preseason snaps. The source notes concern about starting an inexperienced left tackle (Kahlil Benson) on the blindside of Mahomes given his recent injury recovery and lack of preseason work.
