It turns out Patrick Mahomes<\/a> isn’t the only member of his family battling an injury this NFL<\/a> offseason.<\/p>\n

Despite suffering a torn ACL towards the end of the 2025 season, Mahomes is on track to participate in OTAs for the Kansas City Chiefs<\/a>. They’re scheduled to have their first three practice sessions from May 26-28.<\/p>\n

“He is in a good position to be able to do some things,” Chiefs head coach Andy Reid<\/a> said in regards to his quarterback. “If he can do some things, [he ‘ll do it]. Phase 2 [of the offseason program], remember, there’s no contact and there’s no offense versus defense. It’s Phase 3 that you get into that. … He’s in a position where he can do everything, I think.”<\/p>\n

While Mahomes is rehabbing from a torn ACL, his wife Brittany is battling an injury that’s exclusive to mothers.<\/p>\n

Mahomes revealed that she’s nursing De Quervain’s tenosynovitis, also known as “Mother’s wrist.” She shared this news on her Instagram Story this Tuesday.<\/p>\n

“To find out I have this,” Brittany wrote. “Been battling it for probably around a year now thinking it will get better, well it never did and started to get pretty bad…so now I get to wear this cool thing.”<\/p>\n

\"\"What is this injury?<\/p>\n

According to Marin Health, De Quervain’s tenosynovitis is another form of tendonitis.<\/p>\n

“The tendons run in a tunnel, and with overuse, the tunnel and the tendons can become inflamed and irritated. Parents tend to use their wrists and thumbs to hold and lift their children in such a way that cause inflammation of this tunnel and the tendons inside it,” the explanation from Marin Health states. <\/a>“Tenderness and pain at the base of the thumb which is made worse by moving the thumb in a downward flexed position or moving the wrist in a dart-throwing motion. Some patients can have swelling and can even feel a soft globular mass there, which is the inflamed and swollen tissues.”<\/p>\n

That certainly sounds painful, but at least Brittany Mahomes hasn’t let this injury stop her from putting in work.<\/p>\n
