Wow. Awful break for him. That is basically his 2026 done too.

 

These days players recover from ACL tears pretty fast. I wouldnt be surprised if he's back by week 1 even, but more likely some time in October or early November.

He is another Adrian Petersen and will be ready week 1.  I just have that feeling.

September is 9 months away.

the one thing, I don't care who it is, I hate to see knee injuries like that.

Burrow year 1 was ACL, MCL and meniscus in Week 11 and played week 1 the next year. 
 

Achilles is a different story.

Adrian Peterson. 8 months, and then  mvp. 

 

and mahomes could be even a little less recovered than a running back

 

Adrian Peterson made a remarkably fast return from his devastating ACL/MCL tear in December 2011, coming back to play in the Minnesota Vikings' season opener just 8 months (or 260 days) later, defying typical recovery expectations and going on to have one of the greatest comeback seasons in NFL history, winning MVP and nearly breaking the single-season rushing record. 

Key Details of His Return:

Injury: Torn ACL and MCL in his left knee on December 24, 2011.

Surgery: Performed by Dr. James Andrews on December 30, 2011.

Return Date: September 9, 2012, for Week 1 of the NFL season.

Recovery Time: Approximately 8 months (260 days).

Post-Return Performance: Rushed for over 2,000 yards in 2012, earning NFL MVP honors, showcasing his elite genetics, intense rehab, and mental toughness.

I'd be shocked if he plays week 1. He will play at some point, I'm sure. But I think that is a fair chunk of next season done.

Hes a good dude. I think we all wish him a speedy recovery. The game isn't the same without him. God bless.

ACL is a 6month injury. He has 10 months to recover. This sucks, but he will be back week 1 no problem 

[TheBrownBear]

ACLs aren't career enders  (certainly not for quarterbacks), and the Chiefs were out of the playoffs anyway.  Might miss a game or two early next season, but he'll be fine.

Never wanna see things like this happen. Obviously there is never a good time for an injury like this… but if there’s any silver lining, the Chiefs’ season was basically over.  He won’t miss meaningful football per se, and he’ll be back doing his thing next year.

 

Yep. The season was over and he'll be back for the next one.

I'll be genuinely surprised if he isn't starting week 1

No it isn't.

Agreed, but I can’t shake the feeling his agent was telling him to fake an injury and blame the loss and the season on it, son he could save his brand.    

Don’t trust anything these days.   

This is an award winning post. I wont specify which award lol but I can not imagine another beating this one 😅 

 

Buzzer beater too! Congrats!!!!

[Man with No Name]

almost everybody watching the video thought it was an acl. or mcl/lcl type thing best case scenario. lol@ the conspiracy theorists. but anyway, he'll be fine. we've had such bad luck, I just don't have an ounce of empathy to feel bad right now. 

 

if things are going bad next fall, I actually will feel bad. 

[Johnnycage46]

Damn, that might sink next year for them as well.

If he was a position player, yeah I would agree.  Its his plant leg, not his push off.

 

He will wear a John Elway giant knee brace.  Probably won’t hard scramble until mid season.

[stlbills13]

He'll be back by week 1 but maybe not 100%. Maybe we host them week 1 on TNF to open new highmark 

[Sojourner]

Probably best they take the double whammy and get knocked out of the playoffs and lose rather than hang their hopes on Minshew. 
 

Prayers to Mahomes. Like him or hate him… Never good to see one of the best go down.

Absolutely dirty hit by the Chargers. Reminded me of the Carson Palmer injury from years back against the Steelers. As much as i can’t stand the Chiefs, i don’t like seeing anyone get hurt like that. 

He wasn’t even really hurt by the hit. He planted his leg with his leg locked and it hyperextended.

 

Kind of makes you wonder if this really is the end of the dynasty.
