Patrick Mahomes will get a second opinion on his torn left ACL before having surgery, Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid said Monday, and it remains unclear whether the two-time MVP quarterback could be available by the start of next season.
Mahomes tore the knee ligament when he was spun to the ground while trying to keep Kansas City’s postseason hopes alive late in a 16-13 loss to the Chargers on Sunday. The team announced the severity of the injury in a statement later that night.
The Chiefs were eliminated from playoff contention for the first time in a decade when three other results didn’t go their way Sunday.
