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

UPDATE 3: Courtesy of King - High Ankle Sprain Confirmed

MRI today confirmed that Chiefs’ QB Patrick Mahomes suffered a high ankle sprain during Saturday’s win over the Jaguars, per league source. “Nothing more than that,” said one source, and Mahomes has said he plans to play in next Sunday’s AFC Championship Game.

UPDATE 4: Got asked to add this report from Arrowhead Pride to the OP: https://www.arrowheadpride.com/2023/...chiefs-presser

Is the MRI just being extra safe? Or reason for concern?

Mahomes said he was fine after the game and felt better than he expected to. He said he’ll be ready for next week.

Obviously, he isnt going to say anything is wrong, but he sounded pretty confident.

I would say customary is a good description

There is no reason to not get it, it you want to know exactly what’s going on.

I believe he'll be ready for next week. I'm just choosing to believe he only suffered a mild sprain. He has shown the ability to heal and recover quickly in the past.

He definitely won't be 100% though, and that's a bummer. His ability to scramble and run for first downs is obviously importart. He can still get it done and I wouldn't bet against him.

That was a wicked ankle twist. Lots of articular cartilages and ligaments. Good idea to know what exactly they’re dealing with. Being cautious is the correct thing.

Jags had the best pass rush we will face until the Superbowl.

Bills and Bengals are not as good, that should help a little. The NFC is loaded with pass rush but that will be almost a month away.

We just have to get by next week. If anyone can do it, its Patrick.

GO CHIEFS!!

By what metric?

[Sassy Squatch]

The Bengals have Trey Hendrickson. That's enough for me to not want to play them at all.

Correct, he owns Orlando. That is a bad matchup for us.

I want to go through the Bengals most of all. Thats what this team needs to do for their own confidence.

Actually, they do. Better than the Bills who are better than the Bengals.

Mahomes seems to have pretty good ligaments. He had his kneecap wrapped around his pelvis and came back after a couple of weeks.

And he wanted to play immediately after the kneecap injury. Coaches & doctors forced him to sit out 2.5 games.

Yes because HE IS THE FRANCHISE at just over a 1/2 billion dollars.
