Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes suffered an ACL tear in his team's loss to the Chargers. Here's what to know about the injury and recovery time.

Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is set for an MRI on his left knee after injuring it late in Sunday’s loss to the Chargers, but head coach Andy Reid said the injury didn’t look good and Mahomes seems to feel the same way about what the tests will show.

It was a nightmare day for Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs as they are missing the playoffs for the first time since 2014 after losing to the Los Angeles Chargers. To make matter worse, he was injured on the final drive and had to be helped to the locker room. His wife and kids were there for it, unfortunately.

After Patrick Mahomes arrived in Kansas City in 2017, the Chiefs have made it to the conference championships seven times in a row. But this positive streak is expected to get disrupted in the 2025 season playoffs.
