Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said Patrick Mahomes will undergo an MRI on his injured knee.

14 December 2025

Reid acknowledged to reporters that Mahomes’ late-game knee injury against the Chargers “didn’t look good.” Mahomes was down on the turf for a couple minutes before being helped to the KC locker room. He was seen not putting any weight on his injured knee on his way to the locker room. The Chiefs being eliminated from postseason contention with their Week 15 loss to the Chargers likely means we won’t see Mahomes, 30, under center again in 2025. Gardner Minshew will start for the Chiefs if Mahomes is out. He could face a lengthy recovery depending on the seriousness of the knee injury. Minshew can be added in superflex formats ahead of KC’s Week 16 game against the Titans.
