What happened: Baldy said Kahlil Benson has held up well during preseason work and against the Chiefs’ defensive looks in training camp. Benson is being considered for the left-tackle job.
Why it matters: The assignment would put Benson in the starting lineup at a critical protection spot. His readiness could shape the Chiefs’ early-season offensive plan.
By the numbers: Benson has played six preseason snaps at left tackle.
What to watch: The Chiefs’ Week 1 lineup will determine whether the audition becomes a starting assignment.
