Patrick Mahomes Targets Week 1 Return After ACL and LCL Surgery

Doctors say a roughly nine-month path makes a September return possible during his Kansas City–based rehab.

Overview

  • Mahomes said rehab is going great and set a goal to be ready for Week 1 with no restrictions, while acknowledging outcomes could change.
  • He tore the ACL and LCL in his left knee on Dec. 14 versus the Chargers and had reconstructive surgery the next day in Dallas by Dr. Dan Cooper.
  • Chiefs medical leadership has outlined a ballpark nine-month recovery, which lines up with the NFL’s Sept. 10 kickoff.
  • Working with Chiefs physical therapist Julie Frymyer, he is progressing through benchmarks and hopes to do some OTAs and increase activity at training camp.
  • Kansas City finished 6-11 and enters an offseason of decisions, including a possible offensive coordinator change with Matt Nagy interviewing for head-coaching roles.
