It's March 29th. Welcome to NFL News Today, powered by AI and Ready for Kickoff. Patrick Mahomes tours ACL in week 15 of the 2025 season during a loss to the Los Angeles Chargers ending his year early. But the Kansas City Chief Star Quarterback is putting in serious work at the team facility, caulking seven hours a day on rehab. Coach Andy Reed says Mahomes is doing great and making clear progress. To cover their bases, the chiefs grab Justin Fields from the New York Jets as a solid backup who can step in and win games if needed. The team finished 6 and 11 last year, so they're hungry for a playoff push in 2026. Mahomes has barely missed time before, sitting out just two games from 2021 to 2024. ESPN's Adam Schaefter reports Mahomes is progressing well and on track for week 1. Before the injury, he threw for over 3,500 yards, 22 touchdowns, and ranked 6 in QBR. With Fields ready to roll if Mahomes needs more time, the chiefs look set to compete no
matter what comes next season.
