UPDATE: Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes will miss the remainder of the NFL season due to a confirmed torn ACL in his left knee. This devastating news comes after the Chiefs suffered a crushing loss to the Los Angeles Chargers on December 10, 2023.
In an official announcement, the Chiefs revealed that Mahomes is set to undergo surgery soon. The injury occurred in the final two minutes of the game when he was tackled by Chargers defensive lineman Da’Shawn Hand. With this loss, the Chiefs’ record has dropped to 6-8, effectively eliminating them from playoff contention.
Mahomes expressed his feelings on social media after the game, stating, “Don’t know why this had to happen. And not going to lie, it hurts. But all we can do now is Trust in God and attack every single day over and over again.” He thanked the Chiefs Kingdom for their unwavering support and promised fans, “I will be back stronger than ever.”
This marks a significant moment in Mahomes’ career, as it is the first time he has failed to lead the Chiefs into the playoffs since taking over as starting quarterback in 2017. The three-time Super Bowl champion and two-time NFL MVP has consistently been a driving force for the team.
The Chiefs now face a challenging offseason ahead without their star quarterback, as they prepare for the upcoming draft and free agency. Fans and analysts alike are left to ponder the impact of Mahomes’ injury on the team’s future.
As the Chiefs regroup, all eyes will be on Mahomes’ recovery process and the potential timeline for his return. Stay tuned for more updates as this story develops.
