Chiefs coach Reid hints Patrick Mahomes may be out entire pre-season after surgery
Reid said Mahomes is leaning against preseason action as the Chiefs protect the quarterback during his recovery from knee surgery.
- Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said Friday that quarterback Patrick Mahomes will likely sit out the preseason opener against the Los Angeles Rams, and may miss all three exhibition games.
- Mahomes is returning from a torn ACL sustained on Dec. 14 in a 16-13 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers; Reid remains cautious despite the quarterback being fully cleared to practice without restrictions.
- Despite admitting he is "trying to push it" during camp, Mahomes faces Reid's cautious approach, as the coach told reporters he is "leaning against" letting the star quarterback play.
- With the starter likely sidelined, the Chiefs will evaluate other quarterbacks, including veteran Justin Fields, as Reid emphasized the team has "no shortage of quarterbacks in need of pre-season work."
- Every indication suggests Mahomes will be ready for the Sept. 14 season opener against the Denver Broncos, as the Chiefs seek a bounce-back year after missing the playoffs last season.
