Is Patrick Mahomes participating in OTAs and how is he looking?

Answered 2026-06-04 · from the ChatFFB news wiki

Yes, Patrick Mahomes is participating in OTAs and looking sharp. Here's the full picture:

Participation: Mahomes has been on the field for OTAs doing individual work and 7-on-7 drills, though he's not yet cleared for full-team drills or sharp cutting and wears a black knee brace (from the [Patrick Mahomes II page]).

How he looks: Really good. Reports note he showed "the familiar zip and accuracy" of his pre-injury self during 7-on-7 periods, and he threw touchdown passes to Xavier Worthy in red-zone drills. Coach Andy Reid said, "I like what I've seen. He's working hard" (from the [Patrick Mahomes page]).

Recovery timeline: Mahomes is "way ahead of schedule" after tearing his ACL and LCL in Week 15 last year. He's reportedly spending 6-7 hours daily on rehab and is now entering the "cutting phase" — change-of-direction drills that'll be a big test for his knee stability. Week 1 is his goal and looks realistic (from the [Patrick Mahomes II page]).

One concern: Analysts note that even on schedule, it "might take a little while before he regains his mantle" as the elite QB we're used to — the combo of a serious knee injury and a shaky 2025 supporting cast means some rust early on is possible. Still, all signs are very positive.
