Mahomes Sr. Seeks Travel for 7 Games Amid Son's Comeback
5 Sep
Summary
- Pat Mahomes Sr. seeks court permission to travel for seven Chiefs games.
- He is currently serving probation for a 2024 DWI conviction.
- His son, Patrick Mahomes, is recovering from a serious knee injury.
Pat Mahomes Sr. is seeking approval from a Texas court to travel for seven Kansas City Chiefs games in the 2026 NFL season. The former MLB pitcher filed a motion in Tyler, Texas, requesting permission to visit cities including Kansas City, Missouri, Las Vegas, Nevada, and Cincinnati, Ohio. This travel request is connected to his five-year probation sentence stemming from a 2024 DWI conviction, which requires court authorization for any travel outside Texas.
Mahomes Sr. previously received permission in June 2026 to travel to Missouri for his granddaughter's dance recital, adhering to specific conditions. He anticipates similar requirements for his upcoming travel, potentially including testing before and after trips. During his probation, he has completed 160 hours of community service and an outpatient treatment program. He also successfully navigated a probation extension after an ankle monitor incident in early 2026, following earlier legal issues including a 2018 DWI conviction.
The timing of this request aligns with a critical period for his son, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who is rehabilitating from ACL and LCL injuries suffered on December 14, 2025. Kansas City has managed his workload carefully, keeping him out of preseason action. Mahomes' recovery goals reportedly included being able to walk for his infant daughter. While his Week 1 status against the Denver Broncos is not yet officially confirmed by coach Andy Reid, indications suggest he may play.
