KANSAS CITY (KMBC) — As the Kansas City Chiefs closed the book on their season and turned toward the offseason, coach Andy Reid offered an update on quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who tore his ACL in a late-season loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.
“First of all he’s doing great for just being three weeks out or so,” Reid said. “He’ll go ahead and most likely stay up here the majority of the time rehabbing.”
Reid said Mahomes is working closely with the Chiefs’ medical staff and plans to remain in Kansas City during much of the rehab period.
“He and (Assistant Athletic Trainer) Julie (Frymyer), she’s the person that does all of that – our PT,” Reid said. “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 that the early phase of rehab requires consistency and discipline, even when the process becomes repetitive.
“I think that will just continue until we get started again. 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,” Reid said.
The Chiefs’ offense struggled without Mahomes, scoring just 34 points in the team’s final three games of the season.
