Mahomes Is Already Back to Practice & Could Beat the Projected 3-to-6 Week Return Timeline

Mahomes is already back on the practice field which is a good sign for the Chiefs quarterback potentially playing sooner than initially expected. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that Mahomes is looking to beat the three-week timeline.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who suffered a dislocated kneecap Thursday night against Denver, could return in three weeks, if not sooner, league sources told ESPN.

The Chiefs are expected to exercise extreme caution with Mahomes, and the time off will allow him to rest his knee and high ankle sprain.

Given how the play initially looked, it sounds like good news is ahead for both Mahomes and Matthews.
