Patrick Mahomes is progressing well after having knee surgery last month, but the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback admitted it’s impacted his home life.
“The kids understand that dad can’t necessarily be the dad that I usually am throwing them around the couches and stuff like that,” Mahomes, 30, told reporters on Thursday, January 15.
Mahomes had surgery to repair his ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) and LCL (lateral collateral ligament) on December 15.
The NFL star and his wife, Brittany Mahomes, share three children: daughter Sterling, 4, and sons Bronze, 3, and Golden, 12 months.

Patrick credited his “great wife” for being “able to keep me involved” in the family’s activities amid his intense rehabilitation process.
The whole Mahomes clan celebrated Golden’s 1st birthday earlier this month, which Brittany, 30, posted about on social media.
“Celebrated our Golden girl with the best crew,” she shared via Instagram on Monday, January 12.
Patrick attended the swanky party with a huge brace on his surgically-repaired left leg, which was injured during a game against the Los Angeles Chargers on December 14.
Due to his rehab, Patrick will be spending less time than usual at home in Texas during the offseason, but noted he has some trips planned to meet with Dr. Dan Cooper, the surgeon who performed Patrick’s surgery.
“I’ll be here mostly in Kansas City,” Patrick said on Thursday. “There’s times I will be in Dallas just meeting with Dr. Cooper and being with his team as well. But it’s been great to see the collaboration with everybody. We have a plan for every single day that I have this offseason and you got to maximize all those days.”
Patrick said most of his Chiefs teammates are “getting away right now, kind of getting their minds right, getting their bodies right.”
However, Patrick expressed urgency about getting the team together as soon as possible after the Chiefs missed the playoffs for the first time since the 2014 season.
“I would expect us to be here earlier, with me already being here,” he said. “I’ve talked to some of the receivers already. I think that’s kind of the mindset that we have, we want to be in the building and get back to it. I mean, the thing about when you lose and you don’t make the playoffs, you have a longer offseason that you usually have.”

Once his teammates are back, Patrick said he wants to “build that camaraderie, just doing stuff around Kansas City.”
“Maybe take them to some Royals games or whatever that is,” he added. “Try and build those relationships with those guys.”
While Patrick admitted that the rehab process hasn’t been a walk in the park — “There’s some days you’re going to be sore, there’s some days you’re going to feel stiff,” he told reporters — he remains laser focused on being the Chiefs starting quarterback when the season starts.
“I want to be ready for Week 1,” he said. “The doctors said that I could be. I can’t predict what’s going to happen throughout the process, but that’s my goal. I’ll try to prepare myself to be ready to play in that Week 1 and have no restrictions.”
