El quarterback de los Chiefs, Patrick Mahomes, se sometió a una cirugía en Dallas el lunes por la noche para reparar el ligamento anterior

Patrick Mahomes underwent surgery on Monday night to repair a torn ACL in his left knee. It wasn’t the only ligament injured, after all. Via Ian Rapoport of NFL Media, Mahomes also tore the LCL in his left knee. Rapoport adds that, while it complicates the recovery, it doesn’t necessarily extend the timeline for a return beyond nine months.

Athletes are typically able to return from ACL tears within 6-12 months. Tom Brady's recovery from an ACL tear offers the most optimistic outlook for what Mahomes could expect.

Perhaps the worst takeaway from this game was Patrick Mahomes going down with a torn ACL, ending his season. As if the Chiefs' playoff chances ending wasn't enough, Mahomes' injury unfortunately added even more pain to what was a disastrous 2025 season for the Chargers' rivals.
