What happened: Patrick Mahomes participated in individual and 7-on-7 drills during minicamp as he continues his recovery from torn ACL and LCL ligaments suffered in December 2025. Head coach Andy Reid confirmed the quarterback is on a steady rehabilitation climb, though he has not yet returned to full-speed running.
Why it matters: The recovery timeline is vital following a record-breaking contract rework that keeps Mahomes tied to the franchise through 2033. His presence for training camp would alleviate concerns regarding the offense's chemistry heading into the 2026 season.
By the numbers: Injury Timeline: Torn ACL/LCL (Dec. 2025); Surgery: Dec. 2025; Contract Value: $504.75M; Training Camp Start: July 21, 2026.
What to watch: The training staff will evaluate Mahomes' ability to perform full-speed cutting maneuvers when camp opens in late July.
