Patrick Mahomes: Latest Updates on Recovery and Business Ventures
Much of the recent NFL conversation has revolved around Patrick Mahomes and his rehabilitation from a significant knee injury. Fans and analysts alike are eager to know if the star quarterback will be ready to lead the Kansas City Chiefs when the 2026 season kicks off. Mahomes sustained a torn ACL and LCL in December, an injury that unfortunately brought his season to an abrupt end and required extensive physical therapy.
Mahomes’ Road to Recovery
The injury occurred during a Week 15 loss, which also marked the Chiefs’ first playoff absence since 2014. Without Mahomes at the helm, Kansas City struggled, finishing the season with a 6-11 record – a stark contrast to their decade-long dominance in the AFC. However, recent developments have sparked optimism. Mahomes recently shared a video showcasing his throwing progress at the Chiefs’ training facility, signaling tangible improvement and fueling hopes for a Week 1 return.
Beyond the Field: 1587 Prime Receives Recognition
While fans anxiously await his return to the gridiron, Mahomes has also been celebrating positive news off the field. His venture into the culinary world, the high-end steakhouse 1587 Prime, has garnered significant recognition. Mahomes proudly announced on Instagram that 1587 Prime has been nominated for multiple categories in the 2026 Kansas City Favorites awards by the Kansas City Star:
- Fine Dining
- Steak
- Wine Selection
- Specialty Cocktails
“We’re truly honored to be nominated for the 2026 Kansas City Favorites via the KC Star in the following categories… Thank you to the community for welcoming us, and to everyone who has joined us at the table,” Mahomes wrote in the caption.

A Partnership with Kelce and Noble 33
1587 Prime, co-owned by Mahomes and his teammate Travis Kelce, is a collaboration with the renowned hospitality group Noble 33. Located within the Loews Kansas City Hotel, the restaurant opened in 2025 and aims to deliver a luxurious dining experience steeped in Kansas City culture. The restaurant’s name cleverly combines the players’ jersey numbers – 15 for Mahomes and 87 for Kelce.
The steakhouse offers a sophisticated, multi-sensory experience, featuring premium cuts of meat, carefully selected wines, and expertly crafted cocktails. It has quickly become a popular destination for players, celebrities, and fans alike. Despite initial mixed reviews, 1587 Prime has rapidly established itself as a prominent and talked-about venue in Kansas City’s vibrant dining scene.
