Summary
Patrick Mahomes, the star quarterback of the Kansas City Chiefs, suffered a torn ACL in Week 15 of the 2025 season and will likely miss the rest of the season. The injury usually takes about nine months to recover from, which would put Mahomes’ return around Week 1 of the 2026 season. Mahomes has posted a video on social media showing him rehabbing his knee and has stated that his rehab is going well and he hopes to be ready for Week 1 of the 2026 season with no restrictions.
