Andy Reid Says Patrick Mahomes Is 'Doing Great' Three Weeks After Knee Surgery

Kansas City reports encouraging rehab progress without a timetable, leaving 2026 plans tied to a multi‑ligament recovery.

Overview

  • Reid said Mahomes is rehabbing in Kansas City and praised his work with assistant athletic trainer and physical therapist Julie Frymyer.
  • Mahomes’ 2025 season ended with a torn ACL, with additional LCL damage reported, and he underwent successful surgery soon after.
  • Offensive coordinator Matt Nagy declined to project a return date when asked over the weekend.
  • Typical recoveries for ACL injuries are estimated at roughly 9–12 months, creating uncertainty about Mahomes’ availability at the start of 2026.
  • The Chiefs finished 6–11 and now turn to offseason planning, which could include evaluating backup quarterback options while Mahomes recovers.
