Daniel Jones wasn't particularly sharp last weekend, as he returned from a season-ending torn Achilles that he suffered in Week 14 of the 2025 campaign—and was held out of all of this year's preseason. Jones completed 19 of 31 pass attempts for 166 total passing yards, a passing touchdown, and an interception during Week 1's blowout home loss against the Baltimore Ravens. Jones is still looking to regain some of his prior explosion and athleticism, but it'll be tough sledding against this veteran Steven Spagnuolo coached Chiefs defense.

Jones struggles to shake early rust against elite Chiefs defense after Achilles return.

The source projects Daniel Jones will struggle against Kansas City's veteran Steven Spagnuolo-coached Chiefs defense after returning from a season-ending torn Achilles suffered in Week 14 of 2025 and missing all preseason. Jones completed 19 of 31 passes for 166 yards, 1 TD, and 1 INT in Week 1's loss to Baltimore; the source notes he's still regaining prior explosion and athleticism and won't be the difference maker needed to match Patrick Mahomes, though he won't lay a complete dud.
