Breaking News: Mahomes’ former teammate is urging the NFL to change a policy to ensure player health…see more

The Kansas City Chiefs endured a highly atypical season.

It began with a series of injured and suspended players, and it ended the same way: riddled with injuries and, most notably, without their cornerstone player, Patrick Mahomes. It was in Week 15 when Mahomes suffered a torn ACL against the Denver Broncos, and with the loss in that game, the team’s hopes of reaching the postseason also came to an end.

Today, the Chiefs quarterback has already begun his rehabilitation process, and he himself has assured that he will be ready for the 2026 season from the opening week. This news brought relief and happiness to the thousands of fans of the franchise who anxiously await his return.

However, with so many injuries occurring throughout the season, not only to the Chiefs but across the entire NFL, former Kansas City player Tyrann Mathieu stepped forward to call on the league to take immediate action to prevent situations like these, which have affected numerous players, including himself.

Mathieu said in a recent episode of the In the Bayou with Tyrann Mathieu podcast.
