Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is looking to be fully recovered from his torn ACL when the team kicks off the 2026 season in September. Per Omar Ruiz of the NFL Network, Mahomes told reporters that the rehab is going “great,” and doctors have to hold him back from pushing harder. Mahomes said he wants to be ready for the Chiefs’ Week 1 matchup, but the doctors said he has a “long way to go.”
Patrick Mahomes suffered the injury during the Chiefs’ 16-13 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers in December. Recovery from a torn ACL takes around nine months, meaning that Mahomes would miss the offseason program and could miss the opening game.
