ACL, Chiefs and Mahomes
Digest more
Tom Brady knows what Patrick Mahomes is going through. The seven-time Super Bowl champion tore his ACL in 2008 against the Kansas City Chiefs. The injury, which occurred in Week 1, knocked him out for the entire season.
Week 15 was a brutal start to the fantasy playoffs for a handful of shining stars. These are the waiver pickups who can replace them (kinda).
Athletes are typically able to return from ACL tears within 6-12 months. Tom Brady's recovery from an ACL tear offers the most optimistic outlook for what Mahomes could expect.
