Chiefs Patrick Mahomes is on track to participate in his first OTAs

Kansas City, Mo. — less than a month ago Kansas City Chiefs quarterbacks coach Andy Reid said Saturday in their first voluntary offseason practice Patrick Mahomes His teammates are on track to participate, even if it’s in a limited capacity.

According to Reid, Mahomes is progressing well in his rehab following December surgery to repair a torn ACL and LCL in his left knee. The Chiefs will have their first three OTAs May 26-28.

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

Mahomes spent most days after his procedure inside the Chiefs training facility as part of his rehabilitation, often working out with Julie Frymer, the athletic trainer who helped him recover from previous injuries during his nine-year career. In late March, Mahomes posted a four-second clip to his Instagram account showing himself throwing the ball again inside a training gym. The video shows Mahomes taking a five-step dropback at a moderate pace before throwing the ball, which appeared to be an intermediate pass.

Since then, Mahomes has been increasing his workout sessions.

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