Chiefs' Andy Reid Won't Predict Patrick Mahomes' Week 1 Status
Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid wouldn't offer a timetable for Patrick Mahomes' return from an ACL tear.
In a recent interview with the Kansas City Star's Pete Sweeney, Chiefs head coach Andy Reid declined to predict when star quarterback Patrick Mahomes will return to action. Mahomes has participated in training camp practices but has not played in either of the Chiefs' two preseason games. It is still uncertain if he will be a part of their season opener against the Denver Broncos.
Reid did not provide any insights into Kansas City's Week 1 plans for Mahomes during a Monday press conference. The coach emphasized taking things day by day and not making any predictions. If the medical team gives Mahomes the green light and he feels ready, they will address his return when the time is right. Mahomes, who tore his ACL in a Week 15 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers last December, has been practicing diligently and is feeling confident about his potential return on September 14 if cleared by the doctors.
Ultimately, the decision rests with Reid, and Mahomes trusts that he will make the right decision for him.
