Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid indicated that quarterback Patrick Mahomes is unlikely to participate in the team’s preseason opener against the Los Angeles Rams next week and may sit out the entire preseason schedule. This decision stems from Mahomes undergoing knee surgery in December.
Reid stated that while Mahomes has been progressing well with his rehabilitation, there's no immediate need to rush him into preseason games. “He’s ahead of schedule,” Reid said, according to the Associated Press. However, the coach suggested a cautious approach is being taken to ensure Mahomes is fully prepared for the regular season.
The Chiefs will face the Rams in their first preseason game next week. The team has not yet announced a definitive timeline for Mahomes' return to practice or games, but Reid’s comments suggest they are prioritizing his long-term health and readiness over preseason exhibition play. The surgery occurred in December, meaning Mahomes has been recovering throughout the offseason.
