Chiefs Dealt Concerning News for Broncos Game Amid Patrick Mahomes' Return

The Kansas City Chiefs host the Denver Broncos on Monday Night Football with a key lineup change as Patrick Mahomes returns from a season-ending ACL injury. Kansas City will be without starting left tackle Josh Simmons against Denver, and undrafted rookie Kahlil Benson is expected to make his first NFL start in Simmons’ place. Chiefs head coach Andy Reid praised Benson’s work, saying they wouldn’t put him in if they didn’t believe he could perform. Mahomes, playing on the nine-month anniversary of his injury, expressed confidence that “next-man-up” readiness will be enough, while acknowledging mistakes may happen. The Chiefs are 2.5-point favorites.
