Momentum is building around Patrick Mahomes’ return to the football field, and the latest update from the Kansas City Chiefs suggests the timeline may be moving faster than expected. General manager Brett Veach said the quarterback is “way ahead of schedule” in his recovery from a late-2025 ACL injury, signaling that a return to on-field work could come as soon as organized team activities later this month.
Veach shared that Mahomes has been fully locked into rehab, noting his constant presence at team facilities. “He’s in our building every single day,” Veach said, per USA Today. “Even when he goes away… he takes one of our trainers with him.”
Head coach Andy Reid echoed that optimism during rookie minicamp, adding that Mahomes could see limited participation during OTAs, though the team may scale back his workload to avoid setbacks.
