Reid: Patrick Mahomes ‘Doing Great’ in Early Rehab, Will Stay in Kansas City

A rough nine-month timeline keeps a Week 1 return in play yet unconfirmed.

Overview

  • Three weeks after surgery to repair torn ACL and LCL, Andy Reid says Mahomes is progressing well and working daily with assistant athletic trainer and physical therapist Julie Frymyer.
  • Reid expects Mahomes to remain in Kansas City for most of the offseason to continue intensive rehabilitation under the Chiefs’ medical staff.
  • Team officials have referenced a ballpark recovery window of about nine months, consistent with typical 9–12 month ACL timelines.
  • Mahomes shared a two-photo Instagram post capped with a clock emoji as his wife Brittany reposted it with a brief message of support, prompting fan speculation about his comeback.
  • The Chiefs ended a 6–11 season without a playoff berth, and no official return date has been set as the team plans its offseason around Mahomes’ rehabilitation progress.
