Chiefs coach Andy Reid said there are no predictions on Patrick Mahomes' status for Week 1, stressing a day-by-day approach based on medical clearance; Mahomes has practiced without issue all summer but did not play in the first two preseason games, and Reid indicated that if doctors and Mahomes feel ready, they'll proceed, otherwise other quarterbacks will start.
Chiefs training camp offered a bullish outlook: Patrick Mahomes looks fully back eight months after knee surgery and is ready to start, Kenneth Walker III appears poised to be the workhorse with strong receiving and red-zone upside, signaling a more run-heavy, under-center offense in 2026; interior offensive-line depth is a concern due to injuries, prompting possible roster upgrades; rookies are delivering, notably Mansoor Delane, Peter Woods, Cyrus Allen, Emmett Johnson and Benson, while the defense is being reshaped with better depth and a stronger front.
Day 16 of Chiefs camp in St. Joseph featured injuries driving offensive-line shuffles (Benson and Moore changing spots) amid broader lineup changes, Mahomes throwing goal-line TD passes to Rashee Rice and Kenneth Walker, and Harrison Butker going 9-for-10 on field goals including two from 50-plus yards. The team plans another padded session before traveling to Tampa for preseason game No. 2, while an expanding injury list limited several veterans and kept others in limited 11-on-11 work.
The piece weighs the four quarterbacks—Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, and Matthew Stafford—against each other for the 2020s All-Decade QB title, breaking down regular-season and playoff stats through 2025. Mahomes leads in passing yards and TDs, Allen dominates in total impact thanks to elite rushing, while Jackson excels in rushing but trails in passing and playoff cachet, and Stafford has a Super Bowl/MVP in his résumé but fewer overall metrics. In playoffs, Mahomes has the most games and yards; Allen remains strongest in the postseason narrative, Stafford’s title feel is possible but unlikely, and Jackson’s limited postseason appearances hurt his case. The author ultimately leans toward Allen as the 2020s All-Decade QB, with Stafford still in the conversation, and invites readers to weigh in.
Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was cleared to practice after passing a strenuous test with Dr. Dan Cooper following ACL/LCL repair, signaling a return to full participation at training camp.

Two weeks into 2026 training camp, Patrick Mahomes says his left knee—recovered from a December ACL/LCL tear—feels great as he ramps up for the season. He’s balancing smart protection with competitive reps, including a recent scramble that ended in a fumble, highlighting his drive to be ready for Week 1.

Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid gave an injury update after the ninth full-team practice, noting most issues are minor but several players were limited or ruled out for now (Bassa, Gillotte, Smith, Sneed, Tranquill, Worthy). Delane and Rashee Rice were working back, Cyrus Allen returned to pads, and Mahomes is unlikely to play in Week 1 of the preseason against the Rams (possible sit for the second game as well) to give backups more reps. One more padded practice is on the schedule before a Sunday rest day.
CBS Sports identifies several current NFL players as virtual locks for Canton enshrinement, led by Aaron Rodgers (likely retirement this year and 2032 eligibility) and including the likes of Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, Matthew Stafford, Derrick Henry, Tyreek Hill, Davante Adams, Mike Evans, Travis Kelce, Trent Williams, Lane Johnson, Chris Jones, Myles Garrett and other perennial stars who could join the Hall on their eventual retirement.
After Day 6 of Chiefs camp, pass-game coordinator Joe Bleymaier said Patrick Mahomes is playing without limitations, praised Kenneth Walker’s ability to create space, and noted strong mental and physical development from backups Justin Fields and Garrett Nussmeier, plus rookie Cyrus Allen’s progress, as Bieniemy’s duties are temporarily filled by Bleymaier ahead of the next practice at 9:15 a.m.
Patrick Mahomes is no longer a unanimous Tier 1 QB in the 2026 rankings; Lamar Jackson slides into a loaded Tier 2 as Caleb Williams and other young QBs rise, expanding Tier 2 to its largest size in the survey’s history. The top Tier 1 group remains led by Mahomes, Allen, Stafford, and Burrow, with Sam Darnold climbing into Tier 2 and Russell Wilson exiting the survey. The rankings are based on 50 voters evaluating 35 veteran quarterbacks across five tiers.
Day 4 of Chiefs training camp in St. Joseph saw a two-hour, Dime-heavy practice that kept Patrick Mahomes on his toes, with Ashton Gillotte out and Felix Anudike-Uzomah stepping into a bigger role alongside Jones and Karlaftis. The offense shuffled through with rookie Kahlil Benson at right tackle and Brashard Smith earning a regular spot ahead of Emmett Johnson, while receivers like Nikko Remigio and Andrew Armstrong contributed in 11-on-11 work. Xavier Worthy made two tough catches, Delane showed high-energy play despite a one-handed setup, and Tranquill baited Mahomes into a pick during seven-on-seven, highlighting the ongoing defensive test at camp.
During Kansas City Chiefs training camp Day 3, rookie Cyrus Allen continued to impress with multiple catches, including a one‑handed grab and a long TD, building chemistry with Patrick Mahomes. Undrafted free agent Kahlil Benson also earned first‑team reps at right tackle in a competitive rotation, as coach Andy Reid highlighted Allen’s productive start and the ongoing evaluation before pads come on.
Cyrus Allen stood out on Day 1 of Chiefs training camp, catching three passes from Patrick Mahomes, including a touchdown, during 7-on-7 drills. The session also featured first-team reps at right tackle for Jaylon Moore and early battles in the secondary, with coach Andy Reid praising Allen’s talent and progress as KC begins full-squad practices.
The Chiefs opened their first full-team practice in St. Joseph with Cyrus Allen drawing early trust from Patrick Mahomes in red-zone and seven-on-seven drills, while Rashee Rice left early and L’Jarius Sneed departed mid-practice. Omarr Norman-Lott is on the PUP list and Mansoor Delane wore a non-contact jersey. Defensively, Sneed lined up outside with a nickel rotation of Roland-Wallace and Canady, and Cooper McDonald started as the third linebacker in a five-man front featuring Jones, Tonga, Karlaftis, Gillotte and Mason Thomas (Gillotte as a SAM). Offensively, Allen’s emergence contrasted with Jalen Royals’ rough day; Mahomes connected with Kelce and Butker hit several long kicks. Punt return duties included Remigio, Smith, Allen and De Jesus, as Kansas City begins ramping toward full pads in training camp.
