KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Patrick Mahomes, the Chiefs' star quarterback, returned to the field with his teammates Tuesday for the first time since experiencing the most significant injury of his career, participating in the team's opening OTA practice.
The extent of Mahomes' participation wasn't revealed, since the session was closed to reporters, but the Chiefs posted video of the star QB making a throw on the field, with a brace on his left knee.

The Chiefs' first practice that will be open to reporters is set for Thursday, which is expected be the next step in seeing the full extent of Mahomes' progress during his rehab and recovery from the surgery he had Dec. 15 to repair the torn ACL and LCL in his left knee.
"Phase 2 [of the offseason program], remember, there's no contact and there's no offense versus defense," coach Andy Reid said earlier this month about Mahomes. "It's Phase 3 that you get into that."
