BREAKING: Kansas City Chiefs star quarterback Patrick Mahomes faces a devastating setback as he will undergo surgery for a torn ACL after sustaining the injury during Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Chiefs confirmed the news, announcing that Mahomes will miss the remainder of the season.
In an official statement shared via X, the team reported, “An MRI has confirmed that Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes sustained a torn ACL in his left knee in today’s game. Patrick and the club are currently exploring surgical options.” The injury occurred in the final two minutes of the game when Mahomes was thrown down by Chargers defensive lineman Da’Shawn Hand.
This injury not only sidelines Mahomes but also means the Chiefs’ playoff hopes have been dashed as they now sit at a disappointing 6-8 record for the season. The loss marks the first time since Mahomes became the starting quarterback that the Chiefs will not reach the playoffs.
In a heartfelt message to fans after the game, Mahomes shared his thoughts on X: “Don’t know why this had to happen. And not going to lie, it hurts. But all we can do now is Trust in God and attack every single day over and over again. Thank you Chiefs kingdom for always supporting me and for everyone who has reached out and sent prayers. I Will be back stronger than ever.”
At just 30 years old, Mahomes has had a stellar career, winning three Super Bowls and two NFL MVP awards. This injury shifts the focus to the Chiefs’ future as they navigate the rest of the season without their star quarterback.
As the Chiefs prepare for the off-season, fans are left to wonder about the next steps for Mahomes and the team. What remains clear is the emotional impact of this injury, not just on Mahomes but also on the entire Chiefs organization and their loyal supporters.
