Patrick Mahomes is so dedicated to his rehabilitation that he takes a trainer with him even during family weekends. After suffering a torn ACL and LCL in December, the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback has been focused on recovery — showing up every single day.
Key facts:
- Mahomes began his rehabilitation process one day after his surgery in mid-December.
- Brett Veach stated that Mahomes is “way ahead of schedule” in his recovery.
- There’s concern about protecting Mahomes from overexerting himself during training camp.
Brett Veach, the Chiefs’ general manager, noted how inspiring it is to see Mahomes’ commitment. “He’s in our building every single day. And even when he goes away for a few days, say to Dallas for a weekend with his family, he takes one of our trainers with him,” Veach said.
This level of dedication isn’t new for Mahomes. He previously recovered from a dislocated knee in just three weeks. Yet, as the NFL offseason progresses, the team is weighing his participation in offseason work and training camp.
“I think the biggest challenge we’re going to have is protecting him against himself,” Veach added. With training camp approaching, fans are eager to see how Mahomes will bounce back. The Chiefs are optimistic but cautious about their star quarterback’s return.
