Mahomes has spent much of his rehab working with Julie Frymyer, one of the Chiefs’ top athletic trainers.

“He’s around here all the time,” coach Andy Reid said last month of Mahomes. “He spends a ton of time here, seven hours a day. He’s in there cranking away and making progress every day.

It’s great to see. Julie grinds on him and makes sure he stays on task and challenges him. He keeps showing up.

That’s about half the battle on these things when you have these injuries. “It’s not going to be a pleasant thing. Every day, you’ve got to fight through it and you’ve got to attack the challenge of the workout and rehab.
