STACKED’s take
Mahomes' knee feels great; balancing recovery with competitive instincts in camp.
Two weeks into 2026 training camp, Mahomes continues to recover from a December 14 ACL and LCL tear in his left knee. He reports the knee "feels great" and is balancing getting ready for the season while protecting the injury. Mahomes acknowledged he sometimes forgets about the knee during competitive drills and reverts to his natural scrambling style, including a fourth-down play where he cut back and attempted an underhand lateral. He stated: "I'm not going to lose who I am, but I'm going to try to keep myself smart and keep myself in position to be out there for my teammates." The source notes the biggest question for Week 1 is whether Mahomes will be able to play with his characteristic mobility—running left and right, buying time, and firing to open receivers—given the stress those movements place on the knee.
