Berliner Tageblatt - Video shows Chiefs star Mahomes making progress in NFL comeback

The 30-year-old star, a two-time NFL Most Valuable Player, led the Chiefs to five Super Bowls in six seasons and three crowns before the club slumped to 6-11 last year.

Last December, Mahomes suffered torn left knee ligaments and underwent surgery to repair them with no timetable of when he might return.

Three months later, Mahomes was shown in a video posted on social media by the Chiefs in which he dropped back and threw a pass.

In January, Mahomes said his recovery was "going great" and that his doctor said he could be fully ready for the opening week of the 2026 NFL season in early September.

Mahomes is shown in the video wearing a compression sleeve on his left leg and dropping back to pass, leisurely switching his weight back and forth on his legs and making a throw.

The video shows Mahomes has reached the first milestone on his rehabilitation journey but how long and how far he has remaining in the trek is still uncertain.

It's the first major injury suffered by the veteran passer in his nine-year NFL career, where he was known for his scrambling ability as well as for making clutch throws with games on the line.
