Mahomes Injury Updates Thread

[Chiefspants]

Figured it would be more ideal to give this its own thread than the Jaguars gamethread.

Unspoiler to see the first two updates

Spoiler!

UPDATE: Courtesy of KCChiefsFan88 -

X-Rays were negative, source said. That’s the good news. But it does appear to be a high-ankle sprain for Patrick Mahomes. https://t.co/nGJTkeg07h

Imagine being the spy when one of those 5 moves down field because pat starts to scramble..

Lay off the Tony Romo fentanyl.

Just got out of #chiefs practice. We watched Patrick Mahomes throw three passes. Here they are all three. Next time we see him on the field will be at Arrowhead Sunday vs the #bengals pic.twitter.com/0VePAnUmqK

He is putting most of the weight on the back foot before pushing off of it , I know these are light throws but b an that looks pretty good

They won't start off cautious. They'll pressure him early to see how he responds to it.

"He can barely put any weight on that foot. Nearly fell down after the last throw and still wears a boot for goodness sake"

Official response from CP members who watch videos in braille.

Which video? In the videos I've seen he's done his normal awkward looking jog.

That was his clone…

[Rainbarrel]

He hit Kelce in the small of back as he was jogging around him

[Hammock Parties]

Yes, Nick. YES.

Expect an MVP-caliber performance from Mahomes Sunday?

"From Patrick, aka The Greatest Playoff QB Ever? Yeah. ... He will find a way. The greatest's of all time in the history of their respective sports find a way. This is the matchup he was hoping for all year." —@getnickwright pic.twitter.com/rMIgVMZ2Cu

2) He should be able to move around in the pocket, make standard handoffs, and make throws provided the OL can give him a little time.

3) He's Patrick Mahomes, and it's generally a bad idea to underestimate him.

Bumping thread people that don't have time to CP during the day because had to go past 3 lil Joe from Bonanza fat Jon threads to near bottom of page. Great summary here!

Yep, shows nothing. I want to see a hard 5 or 7 step drop checking all options only to see that all receivers are covered thus he must step up or roll out. Show me a hard step up or a hard roll out.

You'll just have to wait till game time. Besides that Mahomes doesn't have to show you anything.
