Patrick Mahomes Resumes O-Line Gift Tradition After Knee Surgery as Chiefs’ Season Ends

Team doctors estimate a nine-month recovery that points to a Week 1, 2026 return.

Overview

  • The Chiefs shared Dec. 19 photos and video of offensive linemen unwrapping Mahomes’ holiday gifts, continuing his annual tradition.
  • The haul included Hublot watches, a Full Swing golf KIT, AI sunglasses, Rimowa aluminum suitcases, Aventon e-bikes, and Beats Studio Pro headphones.
  • Mahomes tore his ACL and LCL late in the Dec. 14 loss to the Chargers and underwent surgery the following week.
  • Kansas City was mathematically eliminated from playoff contention after the injury, ending a postseason streak that stretched more than a decade.
  • Rick Burkholder put the rehab timeline at roughly nine months, and Mahomes posted that he will attack the process and return stronger.
