REPORT: Patrick Mahomes Cleared to Participate in Practice Following ACL Injury

  • Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has been cleared to return to practice following his recovery from torn knee ligaments, head coach Andy Reid announced on Friday at the Missouri training camp.
  • Last December, Mahomes tore his ACL and LCL during a Week 15 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, requiring surgery that immediately launched an aggressive seven-month rehabilitation process.
  • The Chiefs reworked Mahomes's contract to extend his tenure through 2033 with a historic $64 million annual average value, while also adding Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III to the roster.
  • Reid and Mahomes are "extremely optimistic" about the September 14 opener against the Denver Broncos, with the quarterback cleared to "participate fully" in practice as recovery continues.
  • Vowing to prove he is the "same quarterback I was before," Mahomes is focusing on movement and reaction time in the pocket as Kansas City prepares for the upcoming campaign.
