Chiefs GM: Mahomes 'way ahead of schedule' after ACL tear

Kansas City Chiefs General Manager Brett Veach stated on Monday that quarterback Patrick Mahomes is "way ahead of schedule" in his recovery from a torn ACL.

Veach said he wouldn't be shocked if Mahomes wanted to be "full go" when training camp begins in St. Joseph, Missouri. He noted the biggest challenge will be protecting Mahomes against himself. saltysenoritaaz.com

The GM compared the current recovery to Mahomes' dislocated kneecap in 2019, noting the quarterback has been in the building daily. While a Week 1 return is rare, it is not unprecedented, though the team aims to avoid rushing him.
