Overview
- Andy Reid said Saturday that Patrick Mahomes is in a good position to do limited, no-contact work during Phase 2 OTAs scheduled for May 26–28.
- General manager Brett Veach described Mahomes’ rehab as way ahead of schedule and said the team may need to hold him back as his workload ramps up.
- Reid noted a key constraint: once a player practices, he cannot start training camp on the physically unable to perform list, so the team will weigh short spring reps against that roster tool.
- Week 1 availability remains unconfirmed even with progress; ESPN previously reported he was tracking for the season start, and one sports doctor predicted a possible opening-day return.
- The Chiefs traded for Justin Fields to cover any early-season gap, and league schedulers are factoring Mahomes’ uncertain September status when placing Kansas City’s early marquee games.
