Chiefs Face Uncertain Future as Patrick Mahomes Heads for ACL Surgery
Written by Site Hub on December 15, 2025
Patrick Mahomes will undergo ACL surgery, officially sidelining him for the rest of the season after the Chiefs’ playoff hopes were dashed in a loss to the Chargers. The injury casts a shadow over Kansas City’s long-term trajectory, raising questions about Mahomes’ recovery timeline, potential retirements (notably Travis Kelce and possibly head coach Andy Reid), and ongoing roster issues. General Manager Brett Veach will be under pressure to improve skill positions through the draft, particularly at wide receiver and pass rush. With no quarterback under contract besides Mahomes, the offseason looms large. Despite the offensive struggles, Kansas City’s run defense has been a bright spot. As the team plays out a now-meaningless final stretch, the focus shifts toward rebuilding, draft positioning, and answering major personnel questions heading into 2026.
