Overview
- Chiefs GM Brett Veach said Monday that Mahomes is way ahead of schedule in his ACL/LCL recovery and may need to be held back to avoid overdoing it.
- Head coach Andy Reid said Mahomes could do limited, non-contact work in OTAs, with sessions slated for May 26–28 and a mandatory minicamp on June 9–11.
- Reid noted that any spring practice could affect training-camp roster mechanics because NFL rules bar starting a player on the PUP list if he has already practiced.
- Veach said Mahomes has been in the facility every day during rehab and even brings a team trainer when he takes short trips away from Kansas City.
- The Chiefs reshaped the offense to ease early strain on Mahomes, signing RB Kenneth Walker III, planning a heavier run focus, and acquiring Justin Fields as insurance at quarterback.
