Overview

  • Andy Reid, speaking Saturday at the NFL’s annual meetings, said Patrick Mahomes is "doing great" and working long days but offered no return timetable.
  • Mahomes posted a video Wednesday showing light throwing roughly three months after ACL and LCL surgery, signaling progress without a firm Week 1 commitment.
  • Kansas City traded a 2027 sixth-round pick to the Jets on March 16 for Justin Fields, and Reid called him a legitimate backup who can win games if needed.
  • The Chiefs moved to steady the offense by signing running back Kenneth Walker III after ranking 25th in rushing yards last season.
  • The roster is being retooled after a 6-11 finish, with the secondary thinned by trading Trent McDuffie to the Rams and losing Jaylen Watson in free agency.
