Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes gets encouraging OTA injury update

The Kansas City Chiefs will be ready to fight their way back to the playoffs in 2026. Kansas City had an excellent offseason, capped with a great haul from the 2026 NFL Draft. The Chiefs just got some positive news about one player’s health before the start of their summer program.

Chiefs head coach Andy Reid gave an encouraging injury update on Patrick Mahomes during a recent interview.

Reid confirmed that Mahomes is on track to participate in the team’s first voluntary offseason practice later this summer. The Chiefs will have their first three OTAs this offseason later this month from May 26-28.

“He is in a good position to be able to do some things,” Reid said per ESPN’s Nate Taylor. “If he can do some things, [he’ll do it]. Phase 2 [of the offseason program], remember, there’s no contact and there’s no offense versus defense. It’s Phase 3 that you get into that. … He’s in a position where he can do everything, I think.”

Mahomes is still rehabbing from knee surgery that he had back in December. The superstar quarterback tore his ACL and LCL in Week 15 against the Chargers.

Since that procedure, Mahomes has spent much of his time in the team’s training facility. He has put in a lot of work with athletic trainer Julie Frymyer, who has helped him recover from various injuries throughout his professional career.

Mahomes even released a brief clip of himself throwing the football on Instagram back in March.

“I know he’s doing a lot of stuff right now,” Reid said of Mahomes. “He is throwing the ball. He does it on his own.”

It is great to hear that Mahomes is on track to participate in OTAs. Perhaps Mahomes can put himself in position to start in Week 1 if he plays his cards right throughout the summer.
