What happened: Jaxson Dart wanted to return to the game after leaving. James Palmer recalled standing outside the Kansas City Chiefs locker room when Patrick Mahomes asked to re-enter after dislocating his kneecap.

Why it matters: Quarterback availability shapes play-calling and depth-chart decisions. The Mahomes parallel frames Dart pushing to return as standard starter behavior.

What to watch: Watch for team status updates clarifying Dart's availability for the next game.
