Patrick Mahomes posts throwing video, says he feels great three months after torn ACL
Key Points:
- Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who tore his ACL on December 14, shared a video showing himself throwing a football, indicating progress in his recovery.
- Mahomes expressed optimism about his healing process, stating it felt great to throw the ball again, though he is not yet ready to play in an NFL game.
- He aims to return for Week One of the upcoming season, which would mark a roughly nine-month recovery period, considered fast but achievable for an ACL injury.
- The Chiefs struggled last season even before Mahomes' injury, and while his return is crucial, it does not guarantee a return to their previous top-tier NFL performance.
- Getting Mahomes healthy remains the Chiefs’ highest priority, and his current progress three months post-injury is encouraging for the team.
