Overview
- On Saturday, Patrick Mahomes was photographed on the Chiefs sideline at Arrowhead Stadium with wife Brittany and their three children during Kansas City’s preseason opener.
- Coach Andy Reid kept Mahomes out of the game because of concerns about his surgically repaired left knee, and Mahomes did not play in the 20-12 loss to the Los Angeles Rams.
- Mahomes tore his ACL and LCL on Dec. 14, 2025, underwent surgery that month, and has said his rehabilitation is progressing with a goal of starting the regular season on Sept. 14.
- The Chiefs’ cautious handling of Mahomes’ preseason activity signals a medical-first approach that could limit any on-field reps until team doctors and coaches clear him for contact.
- The outing drew broader attention beyond the injury update, with family photos posted on Brittany Mahomes’ Instagram and the game offering public glimpses of teammate Travis Kelce’s wedding band after his July marriage.
