Patrick Mahomes Cleared with No Limits for the Start of Chiefs Training Camp After Knee Surgery

Kansas City will get its first extended look at a rookie class headlined by Mansoor Delane and Peter Woods as Patrick Mahomes returns from an ACL injury.

  • On Friday, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes reported to Missouri Western State University cleared for full participation in training camp after meeting all recovery benchmarks following reconstructive knee surgery.
  • Mahomes underwent surgery by Dallas-based orthopedic surgeon Dr. Dan Cooper to repair torn ACL and LCL ligaments 222 days ago, spending the offseason working at the team's facility to meet the late-July camp deadline.
  • Chiefs head coach Andy Reid confirmed Mahomes is cleared, though he will evaluate the quarterback daily; throughout his rehabilitation, Mahomes found motivation comparing recovery progress with Eagles tight end Zach Ertz, who also tore his ACL.
  • While his status for preseason games remains uncertain, Mahomes eyes a return for the Sept. 14 regular season opener against the Denver Broncos, with backup Justin Fields acquired in an offseason trade as insurance.
  • Beyond the starting quarterback, the rookie class reports for their first extended look, headlined by first-round pick Mansoor Delane, while Rashee Rice is cleared for practice and DT Omarr Norman-Lott remains on the physically unable-to-perform list.
