Brittany Mahomes is celebrating her husband, Patrick Mahomes, and his highly anticipated return to the gridiron after his season-ending ACL injury.

“Seeing him back doing what he loves,” Brittany, 30, wrote via her Instagram Stories on Saturday, July 25, resharing the team’s footage of Patrick, also 30, arriving for training camp. “So thankful 🙏.”

The Kansas City Chiefs starting quarterback sustained a leg injury at the tail-end of the 2025-2026 season, sidelining the star for the remainder of the team’s regular season games. (The Chiefs failed to make the playoffs for the first time since 2014, ending their season in January ahead of the Super Bowl.)

Patrick underwent ACL surgery before spending the bulk of the offseason recuperating in time for the team’s training camp. (The Chiefs, like most NFL teams, spend July in training camp before a handful of preseason games ahead of the regular season.)

Just one day before Patrick arrived at the Saint Joseph, Missouri, facility for training camp, he gave reporters an update on his recovery progress.

“That’s the goal to be able to practice when we get to training camp, and we hit that next step,” he said in a Friday, July 24, press conference. “Now, it’s gonna be about building and keep getting better and better, so that whenever the regular season comes around, I can try to be available and ready to play.”

Patrick further revealed that he was medically cleared by his physician “two days ago” to participate in practices.

“He saw the numbers I was putting up and that gave him the comfortability [to be] fully cleared to practice,” Patrick noted, sharing his doctor’s advice. “It’s still good to be out there and have bodies around and be able to run the offense. This is just another checkpoint on the schedule.”

He continued at the time, “You have to continue to work. It’s not, like, it’s over and I’m gonna be able to play a game tomorrow. You have to continue to work and get better and better and go through all practice, prove to the coaches [and] prove to the doctors and everybody that I’m the same quarterback I was, if not better.”

Patrick is a three-time Super Bowl champion and remains hopeful that he will be strong enough to start in the 2026-2027 season games.

“I’m a competitor, so game day, I wanna be out there,” Patrick stated. “I understand the process of getting myself ready to play, and the regular season is more important [than preseason games]. We will, the doctors and coaches will make that decision for me, but I will prepare myself like I’m gonna play.”
