Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes: Aims to play Week 1
Patrick Mahomes (knee) continues to aim to be ready for the Kansas City Chiefs' regular-season opener against the Broncos on Monday, Sept. 14, Kevin Patra of NFL.com reports."That's my goal," Mahomes noted Wednesday during an interview with Yahoo Sports. "I've said that since the beginning is being ready to go Week 1. I can't predict the future, and I know that it's a long process. It's not just my decision, but at the same time I'm going to give the doctors and the coaches every single opportunity I can to let me be out there Week 1." With that in mind, Nate Taylor of ESPN.com relayed last month that coach Andy Reid said Mahomes (knee) should "be able to do some things in camp," with added context on that front set to arrive after the Chiefs' veterans report on July 28. Mahomes -- who is bouncing back from a torn ACL and LCL suffered Week 15 of last season -- participated in offseason workouts but was held out of full-team drills.

Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid said Thursday that Patrick Mahomes (knee) should "be able to do some things in camp," Nate Taylor of ESPN.com reports.Reid also said Mahomes is "on course to get ready for camp", though "the healing process has to keep taking place."

He's been limited to individual drills and 7-on-7s at OTAs, allowing Justin Fields to take first-team reps.

Patrick Mahomes (knee) is expected to participate in Kansas City's OTAs, beginning May 26, Nate Taylor of ESPN reports.Mahomes was present for the team's voluntary workouts in April but was still limited solely to rehabbing his surgically repaired ACL and LCL. He'll now progress to the next step in his rehab, as he'll participate in at least some capacity with his teammates during the team's voluntary offseason workouts.

Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes: Rehabbing at voluntary workouts
Patrick Mahomes (knee) is in attendance for the start of Kansas City's voluntary workouts Monday, Dave Skretta of The Associated Press reports.Head coach Andy Reid said Mahomes is participating in weight training and meetings as the 30-year-old QB continues to progress in his recovery from surgery undergone in mid-December to repair ACL and LCL tears in his left knee. Mahomes said in mid-January that "the goal" is "to play Week 1 and have no restrictions," but he cautioned that he "can't predict what happens throughout the process." Monday kicked off Kansas City's two-week period of strength and conditioning, after which point the team will begin limited on-field work and walkthroughs. At that stage, the extent of Mahomes' participation will be worth monitoring. Of course, the expectation is that new backup quarterback Justin Fields (knee) will operate as the Kansas City Chiefs' top signal-caller for most of the offseason.

Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes: Hopes to be ready for Week 1
Patrick Mahomes, who underwent surgery in mid-December to repair the ACL and LCL ligaments in his left knee, said Thursday during a Zoom call that his injury rehab is "hitting all the checkpoints," the Associated Press reports.With that in mind, Mahomes continues to target being ready for the start of the 2026 regular season, but given the timing of the QB's injury, such an outcome is hardly a lock. "I want to be ready for Week 1. The doctors said I could," Mahomes noted Thursday, "but I can't predict what happens throughout the process. That's the goal, to play Week 1 and have no restrictions. You want to be out there healthy and give us the best chance to win. I hope to do some things in OTAs and training camp and be able to do things there."

Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes: Eyeing Week 1 return in 2026
Patrick Mahomes has begun rehab following surgery to repair the torn ACL and LCL in his left knee, and the Kansas City Chiefs are optimistic that the star quarterback could be back as soon as Week 1 of the 2026 regular season, ESPN.com reports.Head athletic trainer Rick Burkholder told reporters Wednesday that Mahomes' operation with Dr. Dan Cooper was successful, per Jesse Newell of The Athletic. The recovery process for injuries similar to Mahomes' typically takes around nine months. The 2026 regular season is expected to kick off Sept. 10, so Mahomes has a realistic chance of being back early in the season, and possibly as soon as Week 1, if all goes to plan with his recovery. Gardner Minshew is Kansas City's starting quarterback for the remainder of the 2025 season following Mahomes' injury in Week 15.
