The Kansas City Chiefs were eliminated from postseason contention after a loss to the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 15, but most Chiefs fans likely have their priorities elsewhere. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes suffered a torn ACL, which will not only end his 2025 season, but could also have long-term ramifications.
ACL injuries are different for everyone. Some players can bounce back immediately, and it would surprise no one if Mahomes is out there under center in Week 1. However, some injuries are more severe than others, which could lead to Mahomes missing time to begin the 2026 season.
