KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) – Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid provided a brief but positive update on the status of quarterback Patrick Mahomes during an end of season Zoom call with reporters.
Reid said Mahomes remains in Kansas City and likely will throughout the offseason as he attacks rehab with Chiefs assistant athletic trainer Julie Frymyer.
“First of all, he’s doing great for just being three weeks out or so,” Reid said Monday after the Chiefs closed the season 6-11. “He’ll go ahead and most likely stay up here for the majority of the time rehabbing.”
Mahomes tore the ACL in his left knee on a play late in the fourth quarter of a Week 15 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.
Without him, the Chiefs offense scored 34 points in three losses to close the season, falling to the No. 9 selection in the 2026 NFL Draft.
“He and Julie (Frymyer), she’s the person that does all of that — our PT,” Reid said of Mahomes’ rehab, “so, he has a lot of trust in her, and he’s been in there grinding and that’s what I can tell you.”
Reid said Mahomes continual work with the rehab will be rigorous throughout the offseason.
“That will just continue until we start again,” Reid said. “Not that he won’t take a break here or there, but right now he’s in that early process where you have to really hit it hard, and it’s not necessarily a fun thing to do every day.”
