Patrick Mahomes’ ACL looks good in 15-yard TD scramble vs. Broncos

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes demonstrated his repaired left knee is in fine shape during a Monday night Week 1 clash against the Denver Broncos, highlighted by a 15-yard touchdown run. The matchup marked his return to competitive action after undergoing surgical repair on both his ACL and LCL, injuries sustained late in the 2025 campaign.

Now embarking on his tenth professional season, the three-time Super Bowl champion and two-time league MVP participated fully during week-long practices and carried no injury designation entering the opener. His previous year was cut short when his knee gave out during a late scramble in a loss to the Los Angeles Chargers that ended Kansas City's postseason aspirations, making his dynamic score against Denver a significant comeback milestone.
