Associated PressCHIEFS COACH ANDY REID HINTS PATRICK MAHOMES MAY SIT OUT ENTIRE CHIEFS PRESEASON AFTER KNEE SURGERY2 hrs ago

WHAT HAPPENED

Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid said on Friday that quarterback Patrick Mahomes will likely not play in the team's preseason opener next week against the Los Angeles Rams, despite Mahomes having participated in every phase of training camp.

Reid made the announcement during a routine press briefing, noting that while Mahomes is healthy and fully involved in the camp schedule, the Chiefs plan to give him a rest for the first game. According to an Associated Press report, Reid also hinted that Mahomes might sit out the entire preseason after a recent knee surgery, suggesting a cautious approach to the star quarterback’s workload.

The decision reflects the Chiefs’ focus on protecting their franchise player’s health ahead of the 2026 season, especially given the high physical demands of the NFL preseason schedule.

  • Chiefs coach Andy Reid indicated Mahomes will likely miss the preseason opener against the Rams.
  • Mahomes has been present for all training camp activities and is in good health.
  • AP reports Reid hinted the quarterback may skip the entire preseason due to knee surgery recovery.
