Chiefs QB Mahomes ‘ahead of schedule’ in toe surgery recovery

Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ left toe will be one of the more closely monitored injuries around the NFL in the months leading up to the regular season, but Mahomes on Monday dispelled some concern about his continuing recovery from surgery on the toe, a procedure undertaken shortly after the Chiefs’ loss to the Buccaneers in Super Bowl LV. The Chiefs’ signal-caller said he is out of a post-surgery walking boot and offered an optimistic timeline for his progress. “I think I’m ahead of schedule,” Mahomes said. “I’m trying to get back on the field and get that stuff working. So I’m sure they’ll keep me along that same pathway that I can hopefully do some stuff by the end of the offseason.”
