What happened: Sept. 17 was marked as National Patrick Mahomes Day for Patrick Mahomes.

Why it matters: The nod arrives with Mahomes still central to the 2026 NFL season after Mahomes was cleared for full training camp practices in July. His offseason knee rehab has remained part of the broader conversation around his return to full workload.

What to watch: The next substantive Mahomes update will come with his next practice or game-week status.
