Overview
- Reid said Saturday that Mahomes is in a good position to do some work during Phase 2 OTAs, which run May 26–28 and feature no contact or offense-versus-defense periods.
- General manager Brett Veach said Friday that Mahomes is at the facility long hours each day and is ahead of schedule in his rehab after December surgery for ACL and LCL tears.
- Because players who practice before camp cannot start camp on the Physically Unable to Perform list, the Chiefs are balancing early field work with preserving roster options.
- Mahomes has been throwing on his own and shared a brief clip in March, while a sports medicine doctor publicly projected a Week 1 return, which is outside the team’s official timeline.
- Kansas City added quarterback depth with Justin Fields to handle more reps if needed, and any OTA participation would mark a careful first step in a typical 9–12 month ACL recovery.
