Mahomes Progresses in ACL Rehab; Preseason Return Possible

Patrick Mahomes continues to recover from a late-2025 ACL injury. Head coach Andy Reid reports Mahomes is "doing great" and has not ruled out a preseason return, though his status for the regular-season opener remains uncertain as the team evaluates options. While the Chiefs are scheduled to host the Seahawks at Lumen Field in 2026, reports indicate the teams are not expected to face each other on opening night, providing further context to the team's early-season schedule planning.
