NFL Analyst Reveals Patrick Mahomes Set to Recover After Surgery Ahead of Mini-Camp

Patrick Mahomes suffered quite a bit in his quest to make his legacy this past month. Mahomes lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, as the Chiefs failed to pick up their 2nd consecutive Super Bowl.

It was a disappointing loss for Mahomes, who couldn’t prove the doubters wrong by winning against the invincible Tom Brady. Many expected Mahomes to defeat Brady and take his throne.

Patrick Mahomes was on a torn plantar plate heading into the Super Bowl. Few people, outside of the Kansas City Chiefs‘ medical staff and Head coach Andy Reid, knew about his status.

However, Mahomes showed his toughness, by playing the entire game. But he wasn’t able to throw any touchdowns. Mahomes was determined to play, despite how hurt he was.

After the Super Bowl, Brady got surgery on his knee. According to NFL analyst James Palmer, the recovery period for the injury is 3 months.

Mahomes is expected to make a full recovery in 3 months. This makes him available to attend the Chiefs’ minicamp in May. Mahomes should be entering the minicamp with a chip on his shoulder after how last season ended.

The Chiefs were the best team in the entire NFL last season. They suffered only one loss. The Chiefs entered the Playoffs looking very strong. They defeated the Cleveland Browns, despite losing Mahomes early in the game.

Then they went on to defeat the Buffalo Bills in their 3rd consecutive AFC championship game, and their second consecutive win.
