He wore a black brace extending across his knee, where the ACL and LCL were repaired, and while he was able to jog around well, there were times when Mahomes would need to stop to adjust it.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span>He\u2019ll certainly take that given it was just five months ago that Mahomes underwent surgery to repair the injury.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIt\u2019s good to be back on the field and just be with the guys, more than anything,\u201d Mahomes said. \u201cSome of those days you\u2019re rehabbing with yourself, or with a couple of guys, and you get a little juice when the other guys are out there.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><span>Get Starting Point<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span>A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday.<\/span><\/div>\n<div>\n<div><label>Enter Email<\/label><\/p>\n<div><button>Sign Up<\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span>The Chiefs are being careful of the amount of juice, though.<\/span><\/p>\n<div><span>Related<span>: <\/span><\/span>Mike Vrabel doesn\u2019t have control over the Dianna Russini story.

He also is not supposed to run or sharply cut on the knee quite yet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Chiefs coach Andy Reid was reluctant to place a timeline on the return of his star quarterback, though Mahomes has insisted all along he will be ready when the Chiefs play the Broncos on Sept. 14 in a Monday night matchup at Arrowhead Stadium.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The bigger question is whether Mahomes will be ready for the start of training camp in about two months.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIt\u2019s kind of, \u2018We\u2019ll see,\u2019 \u201d Mahomes said. \u201cYou have these week-to-two week checkpoints that I have to get to. The biggest thing for me now is to get to the running and cutting. . . . Until I\u2019m able to protect myself and get out there, they\u2019re going to keep me safe. But if I can continue to do things the right way, that\u2019s the hope for me at least.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Patrick Mahomes during our media availability at OTAs today. #Chiefs pic.twitter.com\/87mysjD00i<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/bostonrelocationinsider.com\/?p=1472\">It\u2019s going to be a lot of fun \u2018hate-watching\u2019 the Knicks in the NBA Finals, and other thoughts<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Harold R. Kuntz (@HaroldRKuntz3) May 28, 2026<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span>Mahomes typically spends the early portion of the offseason at his home in Texas, where Chiefs wide receivers and tight ends tend to congregate for workouts run by him. But he has spent almost every day since surgery last December \u2014 the day after he was hurt in a game against the Chargers \u2014 doing the rehab work under the watchful eye of one of the Chiefs\u2019 trainers, Julie Frymyer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>His typical schedule involves arriving at the training facility early, doing rehab work, then going through the usual team meetings. On-field work began this week, after which comes a recovery period and then another round of rehab work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThen I go home and chase kids around until I fall asleep,\u201d Mahomes said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI think everybody is different in how you go about it,\u201d Reid said, \u201cbut I wouldn\u2019t put it past where he\u2019s at, and I don\u2019t judge it. People say, \u2018Is he ahead of schedule?\u2019 Well, who made the schedule? Everybody is different. The way he goes about it is different. He and Julie have spent a ton of time working together, and she\u2019s tough on him. She puts him through the ropes. And he\u2019s willing to come back.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cHalf the battle on that, besides the healing part, is trusting the person doing the rehab with you, and then showing up the next day.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div><span>Related<span>: <\/span><\/span>NFL has no concerns about Patrick Mahomes being ready for Week 1, and other thoughts from the 2026 schedule release<\/div>\n<p><span>The Chiefs have another round of voluntary workouts next week \u2014 Reid said participation was near total from the team, despite their optional nature. Then comes a mandatory three-day minicamp beginning June 9, followed by a break before training camp.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The Chiefs have yet to announce the date for their arrival in St. Joseph, Mo., but it is typically around July 21. That would give Mahomes just under two more months to continue his rehab before the real ramp-up to the regular season begins.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThe first step was getting to seven-on-seven, and for me, it was more seeing the defense. It\u2019s been a long time since I\u2019ve been out there, seeing the plays develop,\u201d Mahomes said. \u201cThe next step will be getting with the team and getting under center and stuff like that. But we will progress to that. And then it will be going out there live with the guys, and then we\u2019ll be playing games.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/bostonrelocationinsider.com\/?p=1470\">The World Cup: What\u2019s in it for NFL owners?
