Summary
Seven months after tearing multiple knee ligaments, Patrick Mahomes said his knee "feels great" and that he has been fully cleared for Chiefs training camp.
A demanding medical test drove that clearance: Mahomes said doctors fatigued him, then had him cut, jump and change direction before signing off.
Andy Reid said Mahomes is unlikely to play in Kansas City's preseason opener against the Rams, even as the quarterback pushes to be ready for the Sept. 14 opener at Denver.
The 30-year-old is trying to avoid a setback while returning from the worst season of his career, after Kansas City missed the playoffs for the first time in his tenure.
