Mahomes Takes Part in Chiefs’ First Voluntary Workout, Just 5 Months After Undergoing Knee Surgery
Mahomes threw passes in a brace as he continued rehab five months after ligament surgery, with the Chiefs monitoring his recovery.
- On Tuesday, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes participated in the first voluntary workout of the offseason program, just over five months after undergoing surgery to repair ligaments in his left knee.
- Mahomes suffered the injury in the waning minutes of a loss to the Chargers on Dec. 14, 2025, which eliminated Kansas City from playoff contention, and underwent surgery in Dallas the next day.
- This season, Mahomes chose to conduct rehabilitation at the Chiefs' practice facility with longtime trainer Julie Frymyer rather than his typical Texas offseason location, allowing close organizational monitoring.
- Chiefs coach Andy Reid stated Mahomes is "throwing the ball, and he does it on his own, so he's not getting in any trouble here," with the team scheduled to work Wednesday before media availability Thursday.
- Reid emphasized that NFL offseason regulations require careful evaluation of Mahomes' activity in each phase, though he stated Mahomes "is in a position where he can do everything," positioning him toward Week 1 readiness before the Sept. 14 season opener against AFC West rival Denver.
