The timing made the post especially notable. Mahomes had returned to regular-season football only three days earlier after missing the end of the 2025 season because of his knee injury. His children had also sent messages before his return celebrating the work he put into his rehabilitation.

Patrick Mahomes' Week 2 Status Brings A Positive Update For The Kansas City Chiefs

Mahomes' first regular-season game back ended with a strong Kansas City Chiefs win. The team defeated the Denver Broncos 31-10 with Mahomes throwing for 184 yards and two touchdowns while scoring on a 15-yard rushing play.

His Week 2 status has now provided another important update. Mahomes practiced fully throughout the week and was no longer listed on the injury report ahead of the Indianapolis Colts matchup, according to USA TODAY's report citing The Athletic's James Boyd.

That means the quarterback moves into his second game of the season without an injury designation. The focus now shifts to how he handles another NFL game as he continues to build his rhythm following a long rehabilitation period.

For Kansas City, Mahomes' return keeps the offense in familiar hands. For the quarterback, the Indianapolis Colts game marks another step in a comeback that began long before he took his first snap of the new season.
