Patrick Mahomes suffered a tore ACL against the Los Angeles Chargers the injury was caused by hyper extension that could take 9-12 months to heal thus leaving Patrick Mahomes out either most of the season or the whole season. Gardener Minshew avoided a tore ACL but will be placed on injured reserve with a non-displaced tibial plateau fracture can take 3-12 months meaning he can return at any part of the 2026 season so only remaining quarterbacks are Chris Oladokun and Shane Buechele.
While Travis Kelce has not officially announced his retirement but there's significant speculation and emotional weight around his potential departure after the 2025 NFL season, especially after an emotional Christmas game (Dec 25, 2025) felt like a potential farewell, with Kelce saying he'll decide with family and the Chiefs when the time comes, though he loves the game and hasn't decided yet. He has one game left in the season and will make his decision before the new league year.
