Patrick Mahomes confirms desire to play in Chiefs preseason, expects to firmly return by Week 1
Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes continues to watch the preseason from the sideline, with the team yet to confirm his return status despite the 30-year-old QB’s upcoming plans. Mahomes tore his ACL in Week 15 of the 2025-26 NFL season, killing what were already dim postseason hopes for the three-time champions in the 2020s.
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes confirmed his desire to play in the team's preseason games and expects to be cleared to return by Week 1, according to a live broadcast interview with former teammate Trent Green. Mahomes, who tore his ACL in Week 15 last season, has been diligently rehabbing and is eager to return to action.
In his latest outing, Mahomes completed 315 of 502 passes for 3,587 yards, 22 touchdowns, 11 interceptions, and an 89.6 passer rating. He also rushed for 422 yards and scored 5 touchdowns on 64 carries last season. Although the Chiefs had a below-average year after Mahomes' injury, with him being the only player whose performance stood out, Mahomes remains determined to return and help the team become competitive again.
