Mahomes returns with knee brace, comfortable in practice; offensive line compromised.

Patrick Mahomes is returning from knee injury and will wear a knee brace for the game; he expressed comfort with the brace during practice and training camp. Mahomes noted he may have to slide differently but expects to play normally otherwise. The source notes he's returning behind a compromised offensive line with undrafted rookie Kahlil Benson at left tackle replacing 2025 first-round pick Josh Simmons (back injury), and if Mahomes favors his right side on movement, it could reflect offensive line concerns rather than left knee weakness.
