Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes underwent successful surgery Monday night in Dallas to repair the tear in his left ACL, the team announced.

The surgery was performed by Dr. Dan Cooper, the Dallas Cowboys' head team physician. A league source told ESPN that Dr. Cooper also repaired the torn LCL in Mahomes' left knee, confirming a report by NFL Network.

Fantasy Impact:

According to the Chiefs and the story, Mahomes "will begin his rehab process immediately." Mahomes was injured with less than two minutes remaining in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Chargers. The story went on to say the typical recovery for such an injury is about nine months, meaning Mahomes will miss the team's offseason program, and his availability for the start of next season is in question. The 2026 NFL season opener is Sept. 10, the story said.
