Andy Reid Says Mahomes ‘Doing Great’ as Playing Status for Week 1 Remains Undecided
Mahomes says his recovery is on schedule and Reid will wait for medical clearance before naming him the Week 1 starter.
- Patrick Mahomes expressed confidence on Tuesday about starting Week 1 against the Denver Broncos on September 14, following his recovery from ACL and LCL surgery, though head coach Andy Reid has not officially named him the starter.
- Surgery on December 15, 2025, began the nine-month recovery process, with Mahomes participating in training camp without missing a rep under the guidance of trainer Bobby Stroupe.
- Confident in his progress, Mahomes said, "It's nine months," referencing the timeline set by doctors, and "The more we practice, the better I feel," emphasizing his commitment to being ready.
- Decisions regarding the starter depend on medical clearance, as head coach Reid monitors the quarterback while Justin Fields handles backup duties and the team treats the injury one day at a time.
- The Chiefs host the Seattle Seahawks this Friday, August 28, for their final preseason game, which serves as the last preparation before the regular season begins.
