Mahomes will reportedly be ready to return as early as Week 1. However, Kansas City is not taking any chances and brought in Justin Fields from the New York Jets to serve as insurance at the position. He has 53 career NFL starts under his belt and will likely be the team’s QB2 once the three-time Super Bowl champion is back to full strength.
How did the Chiefs build their QB room?
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes looks on during the third quarter against the Houston Texans at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Denny Medley-Imagn Images Fields joined the Chiefs on March 18 after the franchise sent a 2027 sixth-round pick to New York. They then drafted Nussmeier at No. 249 overall in the seventh round out of LSU. The former Tigers star spent five years with the program and went 5-4 last season.
The Pittsburgh Steelers waived Oladokun in 2022, but he signed a practice squad deal with Kansas City. The team promoted him to the active roster on Dec. 20 following Mahomes’ injury the week prior, and he started his first NFL game on Christmas Day against the Denver Broncos.
The Chiefs will likely ease Mahomes back before he takes over his QB1 job full-time. Fields will serve as his backup, while Nussmeier and Oladokun will battle for the third-string role.
