Mahomes Out for Season After Knee Injury
21 Dec
Summary
- Patrick Mahomes tore his ACL in Week 15.
- He underwent surgery and is on injured reserve.
- Journeyman Gardner Minshew will replace him.

Star quarterback Patrick Mahomes sustained a severe knee injury during the Kansas City Chiefs' Week 15 game. An MRI confirmed a torn ACL in his left knee, an injury that will require surgery and ends his 2025 season prematurely.
Mahomes has since been placed on the Chiefs' injured reserve list. This move officially rules him out for the remainder of the 2025 campaign, including the final three weeks of the regular season. The team will be without their star player for crucial upcoming matchups.
In Mahomes' absence, veteran backup Gardner Minshew is expected to take over as the starting quarterback for the Chiefs' Week 16 game against the Tennessee Titans. This marks a significant shift in the team's offensive strategy as they navigate the rest of their season.
