Mahomes on Track for Week 1 Return

Patrick Mahomes continues his recovery from ACL surgery with confidence he'll start Week 1 against the Broncos. The Chiefs QB won't play in Friday's preseason finale against Seattle but has been actively participating in training camp, calling the preseason grind "harder than the regular season."

Meanwhile, Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase suffered a minor knee hyperextension during practice but confirmed he was "fine" and could have returned. The team held him out as a precaution with Joe Burrow declaring a "now or never" mindset for the season, making the health of key offensive players crucial for Cincinnati's playoff aspirations. rocore.sbs
