Chiefs uncertain if Mahomes will be fit for start of 2026 season after ACL tear

• Kansas City miss playoffs for first time since 2014

• Green Bay star Micah Parsons also tore ACL

Patrick Mahomes will get a second opinion on his torn left ACL before having surgery, Chiefs coach Andy Reid said Monday, and it remains unclear whether the two-time MVP quarterback will be available by the start of next season.

Mahomes tore the knee ligament when he was spun to the ground while trying to keep Kansas City's postseason hopes alive in a 16-13 loss to the Chargers on Sunday. The team confirmed his ACL tear a few hours after the game.
