Mahomes cleared after ACL/LCL tear; mobility and confidence in repaired leg to be watched.

Mahomes tore his ACL and LCL in Week 15 of the 2025 season against the Los Angeles Chargers, ending his season prematurely. He is cleared to play in Week 1 of 2026, but his health status—specifically full mobility, confidence in his surgically repaired leg, and whether he can perform at his typical elite level—will be closely monitored in the Chiefs' matchup against Denver.
