\u201cI know he\u2019s doing a lot of stuff right now,\u201d Reid added. \u201cThat\u2019s what I can give you. He is throwing the ball, he does it on his own.\u201d<\/p>\n
Back in March, Mahomes posted a video<\/a> of himself dropping back and throwing a football for the first time since his injury, just three months later. <\/p>\n While Mahomes has dealt with injuries and briefly missed time on the field earlier in his career, this is easily the most serious injury he has faced since entering the NFL. He is the latest quarterback working to return from an ACL tear, and will look to have the successful comeback that others such as Joe Burrow and Tom Brady have had. Since Mahomes\u2019s injury took place so late in the season, the Chiefs have yet to determine if Mahomes will be ready to go by Week 1 in early September, though Reid has previously acknowledged they\u2019ve got to be \u201csmart\u201d<\/a> with his injury. <\/p>\n Mahomes is certainly determined not to miss the start of the 2026 season. He told reporters in January that it is his goal to be ready for Week 1<\/a> with no restrictions, and his doctor said it is a possibility for him to be back by then. The Chiefs do not know who they will play yet in Week 1, but that will be announced later this month when the full NFL schedule is released. <\/p>\n If Mahomes isn\u2019t ready to go by Week 1, the Chiefs traded for Justin Fields earlier this offseason, who\u2019d presumably start in his place. The Chiefs also have quarterbacks Chris Oladokun and rookie Garrett Nussmeier on their depth chart. <\/p>\n
