Patrick Mahomes undergoes surgery for torn ACL; rehab to begin immediately

On Monday, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes underwent successful surgery in Dallas to repair a torn left ACL, the team announced.
On Dec. 14, Mahomes tore the ligament when spun to the ground late in the 16-13 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, ending the Chiefs' season that day.
Dr. Dan Cooper, Dallas Cowboys' head team physician, performed the surgery and a league source said he also repaired a torn LCL; Cooper specializes in knee and shoulder injuries at the Carrell Clinic.
The Chiefs said Mahomes will begin his rehabilitation process immediately, with typical recovery about nine months putting his Week 1, 2026 availability in question.
With Mahomes sidelined, Gardner Minshew will quarterback the Chiefs through the final three games as the club, now 6-8, has been eliminated from playoff contention.
