Some fans of other teams will look at it in hindsight and believe it was planned that way all along to give the Chiefs some sort of advantage or salary cap circumvention.

Without Jones and Omenihu those first 6 weeks get even tougher. The Lions are no slouch, the Jaguars were a playoff team last year, the Jets with Rodgers could be something, and the Vikings should not be totally overlooked either.
If we can get into the playoffs, not concerned about the #1 seed, we will have a good chance with Jones and company then.
Don't forget if he shows up in week 8 it will still take him several weeks to get into good enough game shape to play up to his potential of last season. Then let us not forget that a lot of players get injured after being out so long.
