Chiefs HC Andy Reid expressed uncertainty when asked about when QB Patrick Mahomes would be activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list.

“Once you start the clock, then the clock’s got to be rolling,” Reid said Saturday. “You just have to evaluate what you want to do there. But he’s in a position where he can do everything, I think.” It’s an interesting quote about his superstar quarterback, one that also brings a sense of lingering uncertainty surrounding when the team will execute the procedural move of activating him from the Physically Unable to Perform list. The expectation for most of the summer was that backup quarterback Justin Fields would be under center once the regular season starts in September, although recent reports have thrown that idea into question.
