Overview
- Mahomes, who tore his left ACL and LCL on December 14, shared a four‑second dropback‑and‑throw clip on Wednesday, exactly 100 days after surgery.
- ESPN reported the team is optimistic this progress could allow the quarterback to take part in voluntary May OTAs on a limited basis.
- Mahomes has said his goal is to start Week 1, yet doctors’ guidance and typical 9‑to‑12‑month recovery windows keep his opener status uncertain.
- Kansas City traded for Justin Fields this month to serve as insurance if Mahomes is not cleared for early‑season snaps.
- Dr. Dan Cooper performed the December procedure to repair both ligaments, and team medical chief Rick Burkholder said there was no artery, nerve, joint‑surface, or meniscal damage, setting up a stepwise rehab that next depends on clearing cutting and contact.
