Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, recovering from a torn ACL sustained in December 2025, is optimistic about returning for the Week 1 game against the Broncos. He emphasized his goal to be ready and his focus on rehabilitation, having participated in offseason workouts despite missing full-team drills. Mahomes, who missed the last three games of the previous season as the Chiefs failed to reach the playoffs, aims to contribute to his team’s success. He has thrown 267 touchdowns and led the Chiefs to three Super Bowl victories during his eight-year tenure as a starter.
