Overview
- Patrick Mahomes sustained a torn ACL in Sunday’s loss to the Chargers, ending the Kansas City Chiefs’ season and potentially sidelining him into the start of 2026.
- ESPN’s Adam Schefter said on the Pat McAfee Show it is “distinctly possible” Mahomes and Travis Kelce have played their last down together and called Kelce’s future “very much up in the air.”
- Schefter did not cite specific inside information, framing Kelce’s potential retirement as a real possibility rather than a reported decision.
- Jason Kelce, speaking on SportsCenter, advised his brother to finish the final three games, step away from football, and let emotions settle before choosing his path.
- Reports highlight broader offseason uncertainty for Kansas City, including salary-cap considerations, expected roster changes, and quarterback plans if Mahomes is not ready for Week 1.
