Summary
Patrick Mahomes has been cleared for full participation in Chiefs training camp, a key boost after the ACL tear he suffered when Kansas City was eliminated from playoff contention.
Tony Gonzalez said Travis Kelce's return for a 14th season gives the Chiefs another reason to believe, even as he acknowledged the veteran tight end is nearing the end of his career.
Gonzalez expects Kansas City's offense to rebound behind Mahomes, Kelce, a healthier receiver group and Kenneth Walker, projecting a top-10 unit with Eric Bieniemy back.
Kansas City is trying to recover from a sharp slide after back-to-back Super Bowl titles, having been routed in Super Bowl LIX by Philadelphia and then missing the playoffs last season.
Away from football, Gonzalez said he is working with Novartis to promote prostate-cancer screening, citing family history and the one-in-eight lifetime risk for men.
