Andy Reid reveals Patrick Mahomes’ extreme rehab routine after knee injury(Getty)Patrick Mahomes spent the Kansas City Chiefs offseason inside the team facility, not on vacation. The quarterback dedicated himself to rehab after tearing the ACL and LCL in his left knee, and Andy Reid believes that commitment set the standard for the entire roster.At Chiefs training camp in St. Joseph, Missouri, Reid gave one of the clearest looks yet at how much work Mahomes put into his recovery. The head coach did not focus on statistics or championships. He focused on the daily grind that took place long before the regular season began.Why did Andy Reid call Patrick Mahomes a great example for the Chiefs?During an interview with CBS Sports reporter Evan Washburn at Kansas City Chiefs training camp, Andy Reid explained that Patrick Mahomes approached the recovery process with the same intensity he brings to games.“He just goes. He kept playing, he gets his rehab taken care of before and after practice, you know how he is, he’s all in,” Reid said during the CBS Sports interview.Reid then delivered the quote that became the biggest headline from the interview.“He’s a great example to all the other guys around him that, ‘I’m gonna do whatever I have to do to get myself on the field,’” Reid said.The head coach added that the organization closely monitored Mahomes throughout the recovery. The Chiefs worked with doctors and trainers every step of the way because they understood how competitive their quarterback is.“I’m gonna listen to the doctors, I’m gonna listen to the trainers,” Reid said while discussing the recovery plan and the importance of following medical guidance.Reid also said Mahomes “attacked every day” of the rehab process. That detail is crucial because the recovery did not involve occasional workouts. It became a daily routine built around treatment, strengthening exercises, mobility work and recovery sessions before and after practice.Inside the Chiefs building, players already know Mahomes as the franchise quarterback. Reid’s comments showed that he also views him as a leader whose habits influence younger players. The message from the coaching staff was simple: talent is important, but the work behind the scenes matters just as much.Andy Reid reveals Patrick Mahomes spent seven hours a day working inside the Kansas City Chiefs facilityThe most striking detail came when Reid described how Mahomes spent his offseason.“He didn’t go anywhere. Seven hours a day, he was there working... and it pays off for him,” Reid said during the training camp interview.According to Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes stayed in Kansas City and built his schedule around recovery work. The rehab included treatment sessions, strengthening exercises, mobility drills and recovery work connected to practice.When Washburn asked whether he appreciated Mahomes’ toughness even more now, Reid brought up Travis Kelce.“He had a good teacher with Kelce,” Reid joked. “Kelce was the first one to do it, and you gotta beat him over the head to get him off the football field.”Mahomes entered training camp with questions surrounding his mobility after the knee injury, but the early signs from camp have been encouraging. He has looked comfortable during practice and has moved well during team drills.For a quarterback with three Super Bowl titles, this offseason was not about highlights. Reid’s comments painted a simple picture: Patrick Mahomes stayed in Kansas City, showed up every day and treated rehab like a full-time job.
