Mahomes says family carried him through rehab ahead of September 2026 NFL comeback

Patrick Mahomes said his family carried him through rehab during recovery from the ACL and LCL injury he suffered in December 2025 and ahead of his NFL comeback in September 2026.

During his recovery, Brittany took on more family responsibilities while their children Sterling, Bronze and Golden provided constant motivation; their emotional messages before his comeback showed how much the return meant beyond football and brought the family closer together.
