Overview
- Reid, speaking Saturday at the NFL’s annual meeting, said Patrick Mahomes is doing great in rehab yet offered no timeline for a return.
- Mahomes posted a throwing video last week roughly three months after ACL and LCL surgery and reiterated his goal of playing in Week 1.
- The Chiefs traded a 2027 sixth-round pick to the Jets for Justin Fields, and Reid called him a legitimate backup who can win games if needed.
- At the owners meetings, CEO Clark Hunt said the NFL is unlikely to slot a Week 1 trip to Seattle given questions about Mahomes’ readiness.
- Kansas City continues a broader retool with running back Kenneth Walker III signed to boost a weak ground game and the secondary reshaped after trading Trent McDuffie and losing Jaylen Watson, with high draft picks to address remaining gaps.
