The Chiefs, now 1-2, will be buoyed by this ahead of a crucial contest against the Baltimore Ravens this weekend at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City.

Patrick Mahomes reacts to players’ return

“It’s huge just having a guy you work with every single week, all training camp, all season, and having him back in the building,” Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes was quoted as saying by AP.

“He always has a smile on his face, and guys like him. He’s been here. He’s won a Super Bowl here. Even though he’s young, he can be a teacher for the guys in the room. He can’t practice, but he can be in the meetings and listen to the stuff that we’re working on, and he definitely gives a boost to our offense,” the quarterback added.
