Patrick Mahomes Injury Return & NFL Week 1 Injury Report | Blue Tent Breakdown

The 2026 NFL regular season is here, and Blue Tent Breakdown is back for Week 1.

Host Brady Goodman is joined by Ethan McCoy, PT, ATC, CMTPT/DN, to look at the injuries that could matter most as the NFL season gets underway — with the perspective of an actual medical professional.

We start in Kansas City with Patrick Mahomes’ return from ACL/LCL injuries, what a normal recovery timeline looks like, and what Ethan will be watching as Mahomes gets back on the field. We also dig into Josh Simmons’ back injury and Chamarri Conner’s knee.

Then we go around the NFL, including A.J. Brown’s high ankle sprain, Sam Darnold’s hip, Brock Bowers’ meniscus procedure, Tua Tagovailoa’s oblique injury, Tyreek Hill’s recovery, and several other injuries with potential Week 1 and fantasy football implications.

Finally, Brady and Ethan preview Chiefs vs. Broncos and make their picks for Monday night. Spoiler: they’re on the same side of this one.

Blue Tent Breakdown looks beyond the injury designation and asks what the injury actually means — for recovery, performance and getting back on the field.
