The road back for Patrick Mahomes from the devastating knee injury suffered on Sunday has already taken an uncommon turn. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the timing of his surgery speaks volumes about how the Chiefs quarterback is approaching his recovery.
The Chiefs updated fans on the day after the injury that Mahomes suffered both an ACL and LCL tear in his right knee during the team's Week 15 loss to the L.A. Chargers. What Schefter found most intriguing was how quickly Mahomes went under the knife to get on with his rehabilitation.
“I don't remember the last time that I remember hearing about a player tearing his ACL on Sunday and having surgery on Monday,” Schefter said.
