Quarterback returns
The upcoming season opener centers on the return of both starting quarterbacks following playoff disappointment last year.
Mahomes injury
Questions mount regarding the quarterback's readiness for live action after bypassing the entire preseason following significant knee surgery.
Offensive line risk
Protecting a quarterback recovering from surgery becomes difficult if a rookie undrafted free agent is forced into the starting lineup at left tackle.
Secondary changes
The defense faces significant unknowns in the secondary as fresh personnel replace established veteran starters.
Run game impact
Shifting toward a more balanced, run-heavy offense serves as a strategic protection for the quarterback while creating more consistent down-and-distance scenarios.
