Patrick Mahomes Present for Start of Team's Offseason Program

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee), who is recovering from a torn ACL and LCL in his left knee that he suffered in the Dec. 14 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, was present for the start of the team's offseason program on Monday, according to Dave Skretta of The Associated Press. "So he goes to the meetings. He can lift, do all that. Rehab. That's the phase he's in right now," head coach Andy Reid said. "We'll just see. Kind of play it by ear. See where he's at. He's doing great, but we've just got to be smart with this thing." The goal continues to be for the two-time MVP to be ready for Week 1 of the 2026 regular season in early September. We'll continue to monitor Mahomes' progress and how much he's able to do on the field as the team's offseason program progresses. The Chiefs now have Justin Fields as QB insurance in case Mahomes isn't ready for Week 1. Mahomes should still be considered a QB1 in fantasy, but coming off his serious knee injury, he might carry the most risk he has ever had going into an NFL season.
