The offseason for Patrick Mahomes takes an unexpected turn, not just because of his injury, but because of his wife, Brittany Mahomes. As it turns out, both the Kansas City Chiefs QB and his wife have been undergoing their respective recoveries.
Brittany Mahomes has now joined Patrick on the injury table, drawing attention from fans and the NFL world. Patrick continues his rehab from a torn ACL suffered in the 2025 NFL season.
Meanwhile, Brittany has just opened up about dealing with a painful wrist condition for about a year, via a social media post shared on 5 May 2026.
“To find out I have this, been battling it for probably around a year now, thinking it would get better, well it never did and started to get pretty bad… so now I get to wear this cool thing,” Brittany posted on her social media account.

This condition is medically known as De Quervain’s tenosynovitis, referred to as “mother’s wrist.” It happens due to repeated lifting and hand movements, particularly among new mothers. Brittany addressed how such injuries are easily overlooked.
It affects the tendons along the thumb side of the wrist, which are triggered by repetitive strain. For new mothers, continuous lifting of a baby can lead to inflammation and pain.
Brittany's account of her recovery is a reminder that all injuries deserve equal attention and care, be it on the field or at home.
Patrick Mahomes’ Aggressive Rehab Timeline Creates Early Comeback
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ recovery turns heads as he gives fans hope ahead of the 2026 NFL season. According to current reports, Mahomes is making progress way ahead of schedule from a torn ACL and LCL in the 2025 season.
The injury created uncertainty about his availability for the 2026 opener. However, insiders now reveal that the star is pushing hard towards a potential Week 1 return.
Despite the seriousness of the injury, Mahomes has continued to follow an aggressive recovery regimen. It is quite in keeping with the same competitive mindset that made him one of the NFL’s elite quarterbacks.
If his recovery continues at this pace, Mahomes could once again lead the Chiefs’ offense and gain back their status. This update is a sign that Mahomes won’t be sidelined for long.
