What happened: Dan Graziano assessed Patrick Mahomes in camp and said Week 1 is "certainly a possibility." Mahomes entered camp with full clearance as his knee rehabilitation continued.

Why it matters: Opening-week availability would settle the quarterback plan after months of rehabilitation. Camp clearance marks progress but does not confirm he will start.

What to watch: His workload and response to full-team periods will shape the opening-week decision.
