The Biggest NFL Injuries Of 2025
Hate To See Them Hurt: The Biggest NFL Injuries Of 2025 - Page 2
We all love sports. Real talk – there’s nothing like that rush you get when your team scores, the sound of the crowd losing its mind, and those NFL Sundays that feel like holy days. We live for the highlights, the thrilling wins, the buzzer-beaters, the game-winning touchdowns, and the impossible comebacks. Sports bring us together, give us stories to tell, and make ordinary days feel blessed with possibility. But we hate to see NFL injuries, regardless of whether or not it’s a player on your team.
Ironically, something we love this much can still hurt us so bad. We’ve all felt that pain when our team loses a close one. We’ve heard rumors about trades and felt that sting when a favorite player gets shipped off. But nothing in sports hurts deeper than seeing our heroes go down with a serious injury. It’s one thing to lose a game; it’s another thing to see someone you root for physically hurt.
Yeah, injuries are part of the game. Coaches, players, doctors, commentators – they’re always reminding us of that. But that doesn’t make it easy. When a top star hits the turf and doesn’t get up, the vibe shifts. A collective sigh washes over the league—fans, analysts, even rival teams feel it. We watch our favorites compete not just for victory, but for their own bodies. When those bodies break, the heartbreak cuts deep.
No moment this year captured that gut-punch feeling like what happened this past Sunday when Patrick Mahomes—a leader, a legend, one of the faces of our generation—went down with a gruesome knee injury. What was supposed to be another thrilling Chiefs playoff push instead turned into silence at Arrowhead Stadium, followed by confirmation of a torn ACL. The injury didn’t just end Mahomes’ season; it shook the entire league’s soul, ended the Chiefs’ playoff hopes this year, and will likely keep the 2x league MVP out of action for a good part of next year. He’s not the only big name who got hurt this year, though. The 2025 NFL season has been marred by devastating injuries from coast to coast, sidelining stars from the trenches to the skill positions. It’s reminded everyone, fans and players alike, that even in a game built on toughness, the human body still has limits. Pain is real, especially when it steals moments we knew we were born to watch.
Below, check out a list of the most notable injuries this season. Speedy recovery to all of the players!
Patrick Mahomes – QB, Kansas City Chiefs
- Injury: Torn ACL (left knee) – season-ending.
- Date & Opponent: December 14, 2025 vs. Los Angeles Chargers.
- Details: Mahomes suffered a torn ACL late in the fourth quarter while trying to extend a play; it ended his 2025 season and eliminated the Chiefs from playoff contention. He underwent successful surgery to repair the ACL (and reportedly LCL), and rehab has begun. He’s projected to be out at least 9 months, which could impact the start of the 2026 season.
