Patrick Mahomes' return to the Kansas City Chiefs' training camp has left fans concerned about his health.
Mahomes has been building up his workload ahead of the 2026 season after suffering a season-ending injury last year. The two-time Super Bowl winner tore both his ACL and LCL during a game against the Los Angeles Chargers in week 15 of the 2025 season.
With the Chiefs ending last season with a disappointing 6-11 record, expectations are high for Mahomes to make a full recovery and return to his usual level. However, fans are already worried about what standard he will be at whenever he's deemed fit to play.
A recent video of Mahomes in action has sparked concern among fans, with some noticing a possible limp. One fan commented on X, saying, 'Is it just me or was Mahomes limping weird at the end?' Another fan replied, 'Yeah it's over.'
Mahomes still managed to end the 2025 season with the sixth-highest QBR in the league, despite his injury. He threw 22 touchdowns, a respectable number considering the circumstances.
The pressure on Mahomes is immense, especially given the Chiefs' decision to offload talent on the defensive side of the ball to the Los Angeles Rams. This move is likely to put even more emphasis on Mahomes' performance.
One fan expressed their concern in the comments section, saying, 'Football is back and my Chiefs are already messing with my systolic blood pressure.' Another fan added, 'Y'all didn't see him limping off the field…'
The Chiefs' situation is a cause for concern, especially with the high expectations surrounding Mahomes' return. Fans are eagerly awaiting news on his progress, but for now, it seems like a long and uncertain road ahead.
With the 2026 season just around the corner, the spotlight will be firmly on Mahomes and the Chiefs. The team's performance will be closely watched, and any signs of weakness from Mahomes will be pounced upon by fans and critics alike.
