At every step of the process, Mahomes has received positive marks. When the NFL schedule was released with the Chiefs opening up with back-to-back prime-time games, it underscored the optimism surrounding the MVP QB’s availability to open the 2026 campaign.
Mahomes participated in offseason workouts but was held out of full-team drills. While acknowledging recovery from such a knee injury is a “long process,” the signal-caller is confident with where he’s at with training camp approaching.
“After the season ended, it was just about getting back out there and try and do whatever I can to be able to participate in OTAs, which I did, and be ready to go for training camp,” Mahomes said. “I know it’s a long process, but you have these end goals. I’m just trying to achieve those end goals by dominating every single day. We’ve had a great recovery program going these last few months and we’re in a good spot. Now it’s just about trying to continue to do that so that I’m ready to go when the season comes around.”
The Chiefs open training camp at Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph, Missouri, with rookies reporting on July 24 and veterans on the 28th.
